E
I woke up long after dawn,
20 years had come and gone
A
I know when it changed for me,
a day in June you came to me
      F#
I've seen through someone else's
eyes with nothing on the other side
B
Every motel, every town pieces
scattered all around

A
Promises that I can't be,
someone's heart that I can't keep
E
Days so long I couldn't speak,
roads so rocky I can't sleep
    F#
But I've seen things so beautiful
all around this broken world
      B
That pale in comparison to you

Chorus:
 E B A E B                   E
Caroline I'm on my way back home to you
  A               E               F#
Imagine what I'm going through without
           B
you by my side
B            E     B    A    E   B
It's been a long, long time, oh won't
            E
you say a prayer for me
   A               E             F#
I hope you will remember me, you are
                B
always on my mind

I have seen the canyon lands
Crooked lines like in your hands
You'd swear the earth was split in two
I wouldn't lie, I promise you
That I have seen it, you will too
You could not believe if not for
Photographs I took for you
Caroline

They've built towers to the sky
It hurts sometimes to watch them try
They run themselves into the ground
But I know you will love them
And their city lights and city sounds
There's beauty in the struggle
Anytime I feel it get me down
I see you smiling

Chorus

B
My Caroline

Now I have seen things in the sky
Stars and lights and birds and I
I've been rocky mountain high
And told them all about you
Because you are still the only thing
That constantly amazes me
I love the road and I've been blessed
But I love you best

Chorus

F#                    B
You are always on my mind, my Caroline
