Intro: C
Vers:
C Am7
I made my peace with how things have got to be now
C
White-knuckle grip on the wheel
Am7 F
It's high time I get this show on the road - all alone - good luck from here on out
C Am7
I understand but that doesn't mean it doesn't keep me up at night
C Am7
Warm engine push me along, need to find myself a new place, forgive her face,
F C
Turn this wrong back into alright.
Chorus:
F G C
Every ghost town looks like paradise to me
F G Am7 G F G C
Within every dusty, haunted building lies my safety from your misery
(C) Am7 F G C
I just can't actually believe this is happening
Vers:
C
I misplaces my hope,
Am7
I left it in the foreign alleyways I roam
C
I care so much more than she knows
Am7
But that don't make a damn bit of difference now
F C
It's stunning how I made it back home
Chorus:
F G C
Every ghost town looks like paradise to me
F G Am7 G F G C
Within every dusty, haunted building lies my safety from your misery
(C) Am7 F G C
I just can't actually believe this is happening
Outro:
(C) Am7 C
Repeat until fade-out
Alternative Version:
In this version you can play the ‚riffs’ without having to add another finger during the C chord
