Bright Eyes – Another Travelin Song (Ukulele)

A
well I'm changing all my strings

                                    D
I'm gonna write another travellin song

  A 
about all the billion highways

                               E 
and the cities at the break of dawn 

                 A
well I guess the best that I can do now

                                   D
is pretend that I've done nothing wrong

E 
and dream about a train that's gonna

D                      A 
take me back where I belong 

A
now the ocean speaks and spits 

                               D
and I can hear it from the interstate 

  A                     
and I'm screaming at my brother

                            E
on the cell phone, he is far away 

A
and I'm sayin' nothing in the past

                               D
or future ever will feel like today 

            E
until we're parkin in an alley,

     D                      A
just hopin that our shit is safe

        D                 A
so I go back and forth forever

        D                    A
all my thoughts, they come in pairs

        D            F#m                Bm                   
well I will I won't I doubt I don't I'm not surprised

      D                A
But I never feel quite prepared 

        A
Now I'm hunched over a typewriter

                                      D                     
I guess you'd call that paintin' in a cave

              A
And there's a word I can't remember

                        E     
and a feeling I can not escape 

           A
And now my ashtray's overflowin

                                  D 
I'm still starin at a clean white page

E 
And morning's at my window 

           D                 A 
and she is sending me to bed again

A 
Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,

                                      D
I dreamed a desert where the dead lay down

            A 
I dreamed a prostitute, a child

                                   E
touching an old man in a fast food crowd

          A
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin', 

                                D
there was people screamin' all around 

      E
And I awoke to my alarm clock,

         D                        A
it was a pop song, it was playin' loud

           D                A
So I will find my fears and face them

           D           A
Or I will cower like a dog 

       D                  F#m                    Bm
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead I will fight like hell 

   D                    A
to hide that I've given up
