Capo 2
D
I'm a pilgrim like you
F#m
I was only passing through
D
You'll never know my name
F#m G
You'll never walk in my shoes
D
I've been no use to my friends
A
I've been no use to myself
D G F#m D
Now I'm looking for proof that I ain't someone else
D G
I was too afraid to read the newspaper
D G
Working in the basement of a skyscraper
D G
That's why I roll and you'll never know my name
D
Oh no
D F#m
I'm not here to feel the bones of some forgotten saint
D F#m G
I know who I am, and I know who you ain't
D A
Spent fifteen days in solitary confinement
G D
Digging a hole in the wall
D A
There's no escape, they said you need realignment
D G F#m D
Now you're praying for help but they don't hear you call
D G
I was too afraid to read the newspaper
D G
Working in the basement of a skyscraper
D G
That's why I roll and you'll never know my name
D
Oh no
Chorus
D G D
Destination, I don't care
D G D
I know I'll get there when I'm there
G
There's only one thing on my mind
D
I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine
D F#m
My shoes have kicked up dust from here to somewhere else
D F#m G
Is this wanderlust or running from myself?
D A
My neck was in the noose, but now I've been cut loose
D A
And put out to graze in delicate pastures
D G F#m D
Now I'm waiting for someone to put me to use
D G
I hope it's clear as crystal
D
That the man with the pistol
G D
Is calling all the shots these days
G D
Now I'll be on my way, oh
G
The self-fulfilling prophets
D
They been lining their pockets
G D
And telling me that it's alright
G
But I just don't buy it
D
Oh no
D G D
Destination, I don't care
D G D
I know I'll get there when I'm there
G
There's only one thing on my mind
D
I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine
D G D
Destination, I don't care
D G D
I know I'll get there when I'm there
G
There's only one thing on my mind
D
I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine
