When the half light makes for a clearer view

Sleep a little more if you want to

Verse 2: (chords as verse 1 except the last line)
D				A
Think about a new destination
Bm	         G
If you think you need inspiration
E		         A     G     D
Roll out the map and mark it with a pin
D				A
I will follow every direction
Bm	         G				E		A
Just lace up your shoes while I�m fetching a sleeping bag, a tent...

Chorus:
A
Another summer�s passing by
G                   E      A  - G                    F# 
All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet
	      G		       E
A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands
G		       D
My joy will be complete

Verse 3: [As verses above]
I thought about a new destination
I�m never short of new inspiration
Roll out the map and mark it with a gin
Made my plans to conquer the country
I�m waiting for you to get out of your situation 
With your job and with your life


G                   E       A  -         G            F#

A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands
G		       D
My joy will be complete

My joy will be complete
