This is pretty much it. Some of the chords might not be on exactly the right word but
get the idea. The chords are right. The rhythm is kinda tricky the first time you try
just keep trying. You'll get it.
[Intro]
B
B
well I’m changing all my strings
E
I’m gonna write another travellin song
B
about all the billion highways
F#
and the cities at the break of dawn
B
well I guess the best that I can do now
E
is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong
F#
and dream about a train that’s gonna
E B
take me back where I belong
B
now the ocean speaks and spits
E
and I can hear it from the interstate
B
and I’m screaming at my brother
F#
on the cell phone, he is far away
B
and I’m saying nothing in the past
E
or future ever will feel like today
F#
until we’re parking in an alley,
E B
just hoping that our shit is safe
E B
so I go back and forth forever
E B
all my thoughts, they come in pairs
E Ebm C#m
well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised
E F# B
But I never feel quite prepared
(Mute Strings)
(B)
Now I’m hunched over a typewriter
(E)
I guess you’d call that painting in a cave
(B)
And there’s a word I can’t remember
(F#)
and a feeling I can not escape
(B)
And now my ashtray’s overflowing
(E)
I’m still staring at a clean white page
F#
And morning’s at my window
E B
and she is sending me to bed again
B
Well I dreamed of dark on the horizon,
E
I dreamed a desert where the dead laid down
B
I dreamed a prostituted child
E
touching an old man in a fast food crowd
B
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinking,
E
there was people screaming all around
F#
And I awoke to my alarm clock,
E B
it was a pop song, it was playing loud
E B
So I will find my fears and face them
E B
Or I will cower like a dog
E Ebm
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
C#m E F# B
I will fight like hell to hide that I’m giving up
End on B
