Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

well I’m changing all my strings

I’m gonna write another travellin song

about all the billion highways

and the cities at the break of dawn

well I guess the best that I can do now

is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong

and dream about a train that’s gonna

take me back where I belong

Verse 2

now the ocean speaks and spits

and I can hear it from the interstate

and I’m screaming at my brother

on the cell phone, he is far away

and I’m sayin’ nothing in the past

or future ever will feel like today

until we’re parkin in an alley,

just hopin that our shit is safe

Chorus 1

so I go back and forth forever

all my thoughts, they come in pairs

well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised

But I never feel quite prepared

Verse 3

Now I’m hunched over a typewriter

I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a cave

And there’s a word I can’t remember

and a feeling I can not escape

And now my ashtray’s overflowin

I’m still starin at a clean white page

And morning’s at my window

and she is sending me to bed again

Verse 4

Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,

I dreamed a desert where the dead lay down

I dreamed a prostitute, a child

touching an old man in a fast food crowd

Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin’,

there was people screamin’ all around

And I awoke to my alarm clock,

it was a pop song, it was playin’ loud

Chorus 2

So I will find my fears and face them

Or I will cower like a dog

I will kick and scream or kneel and plead I will fight like hell

to hide that I’ve given up
