*CAPO 2*
Intro - A
Verse 1:
A
well I’m changing all my strings
D
I’m gonna write another travellin song
A
about all the billion highways
E
and the cities at the break of dawn
A
well I guess the best that I can do now
D
is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong
E
and dream about a train that’s gonna
D A
take me back where I belong
Verse 2:
A
now the ocean speaks and spits
D
and I can hear it from the interstate
A
and I’m screaming at my brother
E
on the cell phone, he is far away
A
and I’m sayin’ nothing in the past
D
or future ever will feel like today
E
until we’re parkin in an alley,
D A
just hopin that our shit is safe
Chorus 1:
D A
so I go back and forth forever
D A
all my thoughts, they come in pairs
D F#m Bm
well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised
D A
But I never feel quite prepared
Verse 3:
A
Now I’m hunched over a typewriter
D
I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a cave
A
And there’s a word I can’t remember
E
and a feeling I can not escape
A
And now my ashtray’s overflowin
D
I’m still starin at a clean white page
E
And morning’s at my window
D A
and she is sending me to bed again
Verse 4:
A
Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,
D
I dreamed a desert where the dead lay down
A
I dreamed a prostitute, a child
E
touching an old man in a fast food crowd
A
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin’,
D
there was people screamin’ all around
E
And I awoke to my alarm clock,
D A
it was a pop song, it was playin’ loud
Chorus 2:
D A
So I will find my fears and face them
D A
Or I will cower like a dog
D F#m Bm
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead I will fight like hell
D A
to hide that I’ve given up
