Chords

[Intro] C F/C C F/C C F/C G/B [Verse 1]
Am
 Just like a broken marriage

          C                    G/B
When two people just don't care

Am
 Like when the cupboard is empty

              C
Or there's no food in the Frigidaire
[Bridge]

 I'm a page from the end of the story

 No closer to my hope and glory

Just a kick away from the heels of the wind

Am
 How come it gets so disturbing

           C                       G/B
When two ships pass in the storm?

Am
 Who knows how high the crow flies

             C
 Who knows where this refugee was born

F      C/E          E/G#   Am
Rains wash out the fires within

Am
 You don't deserve that treatment

          C                     G/B
I can't pretend I was that nice

Am
 I'm no E ticket ride to Disneyland

       C
 I'm no cushy first class flight
[Bridge]
G
 I'm a day behind your restless wings

F
You, you rather have the wealth of kings

Me, I'd rather be on the heels of the wind
