Slow Correction

 G
I'll admit it
                                  Em
I came here looking for a miracle
                C
I heard the engine breaking down
                          D
And I felt the brakes go
                        Em
Maybe that's what happens
                          D
At a certain point in time
                             C
The contrast starts to ease back
                          G       D
'Til the lyric doesn't rhyme
                    C
My mind plays tricks on me
 D             G
I see it now
 D                        Em              D    C
I could've sworn I had felt all I would feel
                               D
But I'm not holding for a hiding place
         C      D                 G
Just a slow correction of the wheel
          G
And all I see now
      Bm                   Em
Is a stranger in your place
        D                        C
Who caught you with your guard down
                  D
And couldn't hesitate
                              Em
But maybe that's what happens
                    D
Every now and then
                                    C
The colours get so washed out
                              G        D
That the story doesn't end
                      C
So life played a trick on you
   D
I see it now
 G              Bm        Em              D
Trying every chance to tell you how to feel but
 C                        D
Maybe all it takes to find your way
 C    D                           G    Bm
Is a slow correction of the wheel
        C
Still there's a feeling that I get
         D
That I just can't figure out, when I
 Em              D             C                     G
Open up my mouth, why I can't ever make a sound,

and I'm
 C                                         D
Headed for the shoulder with the tires spinning out
            Em                       D
And the music's making more sense
            C           Bm        C
Than the words I've written down
 D
Mhmmmmmmm
                    C
But still on the darkest days
   D
I see it now
 Em             D      C       Bm       C
That there's just no telling what ain't real
                                   D
But maybe all that matters anyway
 C        D                     Em    D
Is a slow correction of the wheel
 C                           D
Maybe all that matters anyway
      C                  D          G
