I dont remember writing but im 80% sure that I did

lyrics

Intro
A - D - D6 - Bm7 - D - A - D/A

V1
A - Asus2/C# - D - Bm7 - D - A - D/A
It's a glory day and I've been found
My hat right around, covering my eyes as the storm was rollin in
A - Asus2/C# - D - Bm7 - E - D/E - A - D/A
Eat my soup and get the car, on the way to somewhere far
Used to be so hard to claim a single win

V2
She is righteous every morning, so lovely in the dark
But my demon-driven-feet are still on fire
They take me dancing, take me fast, take my belt and take my cash
And send me home before the dawn catches my eye

Chorus
A - C#min7/G# - F#min7 - A7/E - D - D/E - A
If i can't save us, then i guess i'll be
Just another victim of honesty
A - C#min7/G# - F#min7 - A7/E - D - D/E - A
When the line gets broader and the field turns green
I'll walk much further than i'll ever need

V3
So we follow what we feel is gonna take us to the field
Everybody's got a pasture in their dreams
Some are wide, and some are bare
And some never took the time to care
Mine's a river cause no grass is good for me

V4
Well we can cry while we are laughing, as the minutes do their passing
You don't miss much when you're kissing all you need
Well we can cry while we are laughing, as the minutes do their passing
You don't miss much when you're kissing all you need

C
If I can't save us, then I guess I'll be
Just another victim of honesty
When the line gets broader and the field turns green
I'll walk much further than I'll ever need
