Artist: Bright Eyes Song Title: Another Travelin' Song Album: I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning Year: 2005 Tabber: Taylor Romoser [Intro] B [Verse 1]
           B
Well, I'm changing all my strings

                                   E
I'm gonna write another travelin' 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
[Verse 2]
          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
[Chorus]
        E                B
So I go back and forth forever

        E                      B
All my thoughts, they come in pairs

         E               D#m                 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
[Verse 3] (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
[Verse 4]
           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

                                     F#
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
[Chorus]
           E                 B
So I will find my fears and face them

            E           B
Or I will cower like a dog

        E                 D#m
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
B
