[Verse 1]
F Dm
I'll gradually say "hey" and wave
F Dm
When I finally meet you
Bb Gm
The tickets are expensive
F Dm
To get there from where I live
F Dm
I guess I'll take the highway
Bb Gm
You had that Expo in the spring
Bb Gm
But I had school and home and things
[Chorus]
Gm F
In the beginning it was easy to deny
Gm F
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
[Interlude]
Am Eb Bb Dm
[Verse 2]
F Dm
Out of the predicament
F Dm
Somewhere lied the first regret
Bb Gm
$20 are enclosed
F Dm
To get you through these darker times
F Dm
I hope that we both stay alive
Bb Gm
Enough to figure something out
Bb Gm
I'd like to take that train right now
[Chorus]
Gm F
In the beginning it was easy to deny
Gm F
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
Gm F
In the beginning it was easy to deny
Gm F
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
[Interlude]
Am Eb Bb Dm
Am Eb Bb Dm
[Chorus]
Gm F
In the beginning it was easy to deny
Gm F
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
Gm F
In the beginning it was easy to deny
Gm F
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
[Interlude]
Am Eb Bb Dm

[Verse 3]
F Dm
Got too peculiar
F Dm
Which one though, Williamsburg?
Bb Gm F Dm
Some college kid living on their parent's death
F Dm
And wouldn't it be fun?
Bb Gm
If you come and give me you
Bb Gm
Well, it'd make his parents proud
[Interlude]
Gm F

Am Eb Bb Dm
Am Eb Bb Dm
Am Eb Bb Dm
[Chorus]
Gm F
In the beginning it was easy to deny
Gm F
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
Gm F
And in the end it was easy to deny
Gm F
Another lonely day down in Kansas
Gm F
Raised in a graveyard
Gm F
Strange this displacement
Gm F Gm F
I will take great pains to get to those great lengths
Gm F
Drop out of college
Gm F
Move to Topeka
Gm F
A good friend of mine lives in
[Outro]
