1000 MILES FROM NOWHERE (Dwight Yoakam) --------------------------------------- [I personally like to play this in G; that way you can do easier bass runs and stuff.]
CAmCAm [intro]
CAm I'm a thousand miles from nowhere CAm Time don't matter to me CAm 'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere FGG And there's no place I wanna be
I got heartaches in my pocket I got echoes in my head And all that I keep hearing Are the cruel, cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere Time don't matter to me 'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere And there's no place I wanna be
FFGGFFGGAmAm Oh I, oh I, oh I------I, I---I...
[guitar solo, same chords as verse]
Oh I...
I've got bruises on my memories I've got tearstains on my hands And in the mirror there's a vision Of what used to be a man
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere Time don't matter to me 'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere And there's no place I wanna be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere Time don't matter to me 'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere And there's no place I wanna be
