The songs in my head they always seem to be so sentimental
C C#dim7 Dm7 G
And here in my heart they always echo out so clear
C C#dim7 Dm7 G
But when I hear them out loud, all the melodies they start to jumble
C C#dim7 Dm7 G
The lines I thought were the best, now seem so insincere
C E F D/F#
So I wasted no time, I thumbed a ride with a stranger
C G C G
And I said, Take me anywhere but here
C C#dim7 Dm7 G(b5)
Every chord I play, sounds a bit diminished
C C#dim7 Dm7 NC
the dissonance plagues me and the stanzas lay unfinished
C C#dim7 Dm7 G
Still I sing along, but the words I form lack innovation
C C#dim7 Dm7 G
so I’ll take the open road in search of inspiration
C E F D/F#
So I wasted no time, I thumbed a ride with a stranger
C G C C7
And I said, Take me anywhere but here
F/A Fm/Ab C/G D/F#
Some people think, they are always on the brink of something
F E E7/D Am Am/G
Better than, what they ever had before
F D/F# C/G D/F
Me I'm the same, You know I'm a hopeless romantic that way
F D/F#
But, it seems that this town has been keeping me down
C/G D/F#
And I can’t stick around one more day
F G C G
So, I'll be on my way
