Your Love Is My Rest.
John Hiatt.
Album: Walk On.
Intro: D Bm F#m D G Bm F#m A
D Bm F#m A
These are the words, that cry out of me in the night,
D Bm F#m F#
Like a buffalo herd, From a shotgun blast scattered in flight,
G D
I got a one track mind, going down a one train line,
A D D7
Living on dreams half the time, going West.
G D
I gotta pick up speed, jst to get what I need,
A D A
The end of the line guaranteed, your love is my rest,
D Bm F#m A
The coal catches fire, I'm down the wire in a flash,
D Bm F#m F#
That big old smoke stack, is belching out black smoke and ash,
G D
So sad to think of, hurting the one you love,
A D
But surely that's what leaving does, you'd know best,
G D
I gotta pick up speed, just to get what I need,
A D A (pause) D A
The end of the line guaranteed, your love is my rest, your love is my rest,
Break: D Bm F#m A6 Dmaj7 Bm E7 F#m F# G Dmaj7 F#m A D A
D Bm F#m A
We pass through the land, of Custer's last stand and I grin,
D Bm F#m F#
So this is where old Yellow Hair's ghost dance begins,
G D
I got the blood on my hands, can't even live where I stand,
A D D7
I'm just a traveling man, cursed or blessed,
G D
I gotta pick up speed, just to get what I need,
A D A (pause)
The end of the line guaranteed, your love is my rest,
A D (pause) D A E D
Your love is my rest, your love is my rest.
