Gm7 G C
Folks we finally got a headline
Gm7 G C Am
Newsies crushed as Bulls attack
Dm G C D C D
Crutchie's callin me dumb crip's just too damn slow
Gm7 G C
Guys are fightin' bleedin' fallin'

Captain Jack just wants to close his eyes and GO

[Chorus 1]
C
Let me go
Am
Far away
F G F C
Somewhere they won't ever find me
G E A Am F
And tomorrow won't remind me of today
Dm G7 Gm7 Am
When the city's finally sleepin'
Dm G7 Em Am
And the moon looks old and grey
D# Bb Am D7 G
I get on a train that's bound for Santa Fe
[Chorus 2]
C
And I'm gone

And I'm done

No more runnin' no more hidin'

No more fat old men denying me my pay

Just a moon so big and yellow

It turns night right into day
Dm
Dreams come true
G7
Yeah they do
C
In Santa Fe
[Bridge]
F G F G C
Where does it say you gotta live and die here
F G F G C
Where does it say a guy can't catch a break
C
Why should you only take what you're given
Am Fm
Why should you spend your whole life livin'
Am
Trapped where there ain't no future
F
Even at seventeen
Am F
Breakin' your back for someone else's sake

If the life don't seem to suit ya
Bm E
How 'bout a change of scene

Far from the lousy headlines

And the deadlines in between
[Chorus 3]

Santa Fe
Am
My old friend
F G F C
I can't spend my whole life dreaming
G E A Am F
Though I know that's all I seem inclined to do
Dm G7 C
I ain't gettin' any younger
F G7 E
And I wanna start brand new
Dm
I need space
G7
And fresh air
C Em
Let 'em laugh in my face
Am
I don't care
C Dm
Save my place
F
I'll be there
[Instrumental]
C D C D
[Outro]
Gm7 G C
Just be real is all I'm askin'
Gm7 G C Am
Not some paintin' in my head
Dm G7 C
Cause I'm dead if I can't count on you today
D# Bb Am D7 C
I got nothin' if I ain't got Santa Fe
