Intro:  
 G  
 G

Verse 1:
       
 G
I have stumbled on the plains

 G
Staggered in the wind

Stood at a crossroad or two

 D
Cried to a river

 D
Swept to the sea

 G           
 C      
 G
All just to get to you

Verse 2:
I have flagged a yellow cab
Hopped a rusty freight
Sang till my lips turned blue
Flown a silver bird
On the tops of the clouds
All just to get to you

Chorus:
  
 C
I ran too hard,
  
 G
I played too Rough
  
 C
I gave my Love
    
 G
Not near Enough
  
 C
I bled too red
  
 G
I cried too blue
  
 D
I beat my fist

 D
Against the moon
            
 C      
 G
All just to get to you

Verse 3:

I have run from St. Paul
To Wichita Falls
Call'd you from sunny Baton Rouge
Hocked everything
>From my watch to my ring
All just to get to you

Chorus

Break:
Bb  Bbsus (repeat four times)
then hit:  
 C 
 C

Verse 4:
>From the California Shore
Where the mighty ocean roars
To  the lands of the Hopi and the Sioux
I walked the desert sands
Crossed the Rio Grande
All just to get to you

Verse 5:
I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
Cried to a river
Swept to the sea
All just to get to you

Repeat and fade:

 G           
 F      
 C
All just to get to you
