A              D               A
I woke up in another strange place
      D            A              Bm            E
By a forty-acre parking lot with every kind of sign.
A                  D               A
I was talking to another strange face who was 
 D                             E
Telling me he didn't have the time.

   A               D         
- All I want is behind that mountain,
 A                  E
All I need is the other way,
 A             D      
All I am is a lost soul searching,
E               A   E  A
All I have is today. -

A                           D        A
I was walkin' through the sands of silver
         D       A            Bm       E
To the saphire canyon on the river of jade.
A                  D          A
I was followin' a gold sun settin' when 
D                            E
Suddenly the light began to fade.

   A               D         
- All I want is behind that mountain,
 A                  E
All I need is the other way,
 A             D      
All I am is a lost soul searching,
E               A   E  A
All I have is today. -

A                  D        A
I was ridin' in a black tornado 
          D          A            Bm        E
With the top pulled down and the lights on dim.
A                      D        A
I heard angels singin' in the darkness,
 D                            E
Singin' come southern gospel hymn.

   A               D         
- All I want is behind that mountain,
 A                  E
All I need is the other way,
 A             D      
All I am is a lost soul searching,
E               A   E  A
All I have is today. -

E  A  E  A  D  F#m  Bm  E

A                       D        A
I was thinkin' 'bout a man and woman
           D                A            Bm               E
Who were tryin' to make a livin' out of shiney wood and steel.
    A                    D       A
I should tell ya, if I haven't told ya, 
 D                     E
This is exactly how I feel.

   A               D         
- All I want is behind that mountain,
 A                  E
All I need is the other way,
 A             D      
All I am is a lost soul searching,
E               A    E               A   
All I have is today, all I have is today -
