This song rules! It's fantastic both sonically and lyrically.
The Sam Roberts Band has up to 3 seperate guitar parts in any given song.
This tab details the main rhythm guitar part.

Note: Standard tuning


PART 1: 

        G          C    
e |-------------------
b |-------------------     
g |-------0----0------
d |-------------------
a |--------------2-3--
E |-----3----3--------


...Which becomes...

        Gmaj       Cadd9
e |-----3----3---3-3--
b |-----3----3---3-3--     
g |-----0----0---0-0--

they're just variations of progressions of

LYRICS


(1) Feel, feel it grow
In your mind
In your mind

Life is how you live it
Through time
Through time

And there�s no desert sun
That is hot enough to feed your fire
We shipwreck like fools
Only to become the ocean�s choir

(2) And the sun dies until it�s reborn
But there�s no road that ain�t a hard road to travel on

(1) Got lost on the way but you found the road again
Stay true to your friends cause they�ll save you in the end
 
There must be something in the air, in the air
Some kind of answer to my prayers, to my prayers
Some kind of answer to my prayers

(2) I�ve been dying since the day I was born
Cause there�s no road that ain�t a hard road to travel on

(3) I have a vision in my mind
Of a life that I�ve left behind

(4) And can�t you see that lost souls can�t swim
You know you�ll sink but you still jump in

(5) And it�s alright to get caught 
Stealing back what you�ve lost

(4) Yeah don�t you know that lost souls can�t swim
You beat them back or they drag you in
 
(2) And I can�t say that I am sorry for all my medicines 

(1) And you try to find a love that�ll see you through your darkest days
And her soft brown hair is as long as the Canadian highway

(2) And the sun dies until it�s reborn
But there�s no road that ain�t a hard road to travel on

(1)

(2) Been dying since the day I was born
Cause there�s no road that ain�t a hard road to travel on

(1)
