I've been in denial for a while now
G D
But i'm coming around

Wayward as a Greyhound

You took my grief with a grain of salt
Em G D
It was difficult, it was all my fault

A long distance phone call from Philadelphia,
G D G
I was drunk and i needed to talk

But once i had your attention,
D A

They say the safest place is a basement in a storm
