  C                      G                       D                   G   
I caught her face in horizon clouds, soak up the smoke from her last goodbye 
C                G                            D 
But I can't feel pain cause there's no one to blame 
C                 G                          D                                     G   
Averly was always meant to be free, when she left she thought it best to take some company 
C                        G                   D 
That's when she broke my chains and we took off 
C                                          G 
They never knew we were gone till the dawn cried 


G        F   C  
Hey Hey, Averly 
G              F       C 
Ain't it 'bout time to see 
G         F       C    D 
Where you need to be tonight 
G                 F       C 
If you've got the mind to spare 
G              F        C          G 
Send it to the ones who care about you 
G                F         C        D 
Don't waste your breath on running alone 
C                                  G     C   G   C    
Just bring it on home sweet Averly Jane  
 
Walkin' down these ol' graveled tracks, cause I lost her at the Great Divide 

I got my sweat-stained sleeve to wipe my brow dry 

every footprint is caked in rust, while my boots are shining rails I fight the rising dust 

Then I feel her face up in the sunrise 

They never knew we were gone till the dawn cried 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
D                           C                   G  
And if you feel the highway scream beneath your feet 
D                             C               G 
Just take a look around and remember what you see 
                C                 G             C                   G 
Cause you might find a friend you know, burning through the morning cold 
            C                  G                      D 
To help you find your way back home through the misty haze 
C                                 G 
Hope to see you down again Averly Jane 
 
 
I caught the glare of a passerby, just a sittin' on the side of the street 
He wore his heart on his sleeve, just to watch it bleed 
He said, "Son, you look a lot like myself, if I was you I'd put my dreams back on the shelf."  
I said, "When I come home, I won't be alone 
I won't be sittin' on the side of the road while the sun cries."
