Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Say the west is a story we made up to erase

Conestoga wagons left tracks you can see from space

From the Northwest passage to the great divide

Everybodys looking for the other side

I'm still waiting for the whiskey to whisk me away

And I'm still waiting for the ashtray to lead me astray

I twist the culdesacs into one way signs

I ain't going round in circles on the other side

x2

So at night I sit and watch for the stars to stay

They wink and then theyre gone down the Milky Way

But when you're left in the middle of the Midwest sky

Everywhere you look is the other side
