Wheat Like Waves Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Wheat like waves
The Ca[G]na [D]dian plains were
an [A]ocean [G]wide
[Em]Flowing to [G]the sky with [D]prefab sprout
Echoing out of [A]your [G]'90s Accord
With the [Em]mismatched [G]doors

[Verse 2]
[D]Away from the wives for
just a few days
Traveling [Asus4]'cross the di[G]vide,
my de[Em]lusions [G]ablaze
But a [D]homesteader's life at [G]forty-five
[D]Was Was just a f[A]leeting dre[G]am
There's [Em]no way I'd [G]survive
The winters in Saskatchewan
[D]are so cold
[G][D][A][G]

[Verse 3]
[Em][G]
You [D]talked of your kid
How frightened you'd been
when she [A]almost [G]died
With [Em]tears in your eyes
[G]But I cou[D]ld not pretend
To comprehend the depths
of [A]that kind [G]of love
As a [Em]childless [G]man

[Verse 4]
There's [D]so little time,
so many [G]miles to [D]drive
Before the [A]endless [G]sleep [Em]eventually arrives
[G]But I nev[D]er would've thought
that [G]life was so long
[D]That we'd be gro[A]wing[G]
old with [Em]stories untold
[G]You were

[Verse 5]
kindled by the
dials on the [A]dashboard
Your [G]tattoos like the stamps
upon your [D]passport
[G]Speeding like we thought we
were [A]es [D]cap[A]ing
From [G]everything we feared
that we were [D]breaking
By [Em]try ing to [G]hold them in our hands

[Interlude 1]
[D][A]
[G][Em][G][D][G][D]
[A][G][Em][G]

[Verse 6]
You were [G]kindled by the
dials on the [A]dash[D]board
[A]Your tat[G]toos like the stamps
upon your [D]passport
[G]Speeding like we thought we
were [Asus4]es caping[D][A]
From [G]everything we feared
that we were [D]breaking
By [G]trying to hold them in

[Outro 1]
our hands
