According to the Colder Weather Songfacts, the song tells the tale of a traveling musician who heads back on the road chasing his dreams. In doing so he leaves behind the woman who loves him. Later on, he starts having second thoughts and returns to her but it isn't long before the urge to roam overtakes him again.

She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
F                       G                    C
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,
F                     G                    C               G             F
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,
         Dm              
She's answered by the tail lights
            G                              C
Shining through the window pane


[Chorus:]
F            C
He said I wanna see you again
 F                    C
But I'm stuck in colder weather
 F                        C
Maybe tomorrow will be better
         G
Can I call you then
 F               C
She said you're ramblin' man
  F                 C
You ain't ever gonna change
 F                   C
You gotta gypsy soul to blame
               G
And you were born for leavin'


 F                      G                    C
At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln,
F                        G                   C
The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',
  F            G             C            G      F
And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light shinin',
   Dm
He thinks of Colorado
   G                  C
And the girl he left behind him


[Chorus:]
  F                C
He said I wanna see you again

 F                   C
You gotta gypsy soul to blame
    G                      F
And you were born for leavin' (born for leavin')

 
F            C
Well it's a winding road
 G                   C         G
When your in the lost and found
  F                C
You're a lover I'm a runner
  G
We go 'round 'n 'round
 F                    C
And I love you but I leave you
  F                     C
I don't want you but I need you
F             C                                         G

And when I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
      G
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
   F            C
I'm with your ghost again
   F                         C
It's a shame about the weather
F                   C
I know soon we'll be together

And I can't wait till then
  F      C
I can't wait till then

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

F Am Dm C

The skirts go up, before the wall  among the madding crowds, 
    
     F                      Am                    Dm     C

In your ruin, Like the rest of ruin, the rest of us ruin

There's no other show like it 'round here, as a ru-u-ule
 Bb                        F            C
Windows will roll for the crash years

Now the candle's end, you are a light turned low  and like the rest of us,
                 F            Am               Dm     C
You've got those old, eternity blues, eternity blues

Pinwheel spark break loose and roll 
E         A           D
where you stop nobody knows 
       E                B
just a thought but gone down 
          D             (Dsus)     D
it's been carved into a point understand 

            A                             F#
turned into someone that you only know 
            D                    E
when you're falling through your clothes 


run run run deep breath then jump 
roll with your vertigo stomp 
now you're clear but gone down 
you've been cleared of every charge understand 

you've turned into someone that you only know 
when you're falling through your clothes

End with A

Falling Through Your Clothes

Jo et duré a casa si fa mal temps

Jo t’empararé si un cas tens por
SIm MI
Jo te cuidaré si estàs malalta

De tot cor

MI RE DO#m-SIm-LA

FA#m DO#m
Estic a punt d’anar-me’n
RE LA RE
Mes abans de partir et diré
REm LA
Que et duc dins es pensament

FA#m DO#m
No deix de recordar-te
RE LA RE
I alen els teus alens tot calents
REm SIm MI
De lluny i de prop me tens


Jo et duré...

FA#m DO#m
I a dalt de s’escenari
RE LA RE
Quan estic concentrat cantant
REm MI
Jo sempre te tenc present

FA#m DO#m
Perquè m’ets necessari
RE LA
Com s’aire que respir
RE REm SIm MI
Necessit estar amb tu en tot moment


Jo et duré... ( bis )
