Chords

B                       G#m
Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb

F#                         B
Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind

B                         G#m
The distance was short so light it again

E                         F#         B
It don't take no time to get where I am

E                        B
But one paper kid wasn't really so mean

        F#                       B
Just a  little bit scared and a little bit green

        E           F#                    G#m      E
And he'd heard of a place it where it was legal to dream

       B                        G#m
So he sat with his coffee in a blue Texas wind

       E
And he wrote on a rock

    G#m                 F#      B       G#m  E  F#
The one paper kid he's  rollin' again                    

B                   G#m
Driver was drunk or he  just didn't see

    F#                   B
The future is there it'll happen to me

B                                   G#m
And all the time that he wasted was his once again

E                          F#               B
It never takes too long to go where you've been

G#m                         F#
Broken hearts scatered all over the past

E                 B
Old bad memories trying to last

G#m         F#         E
Whiskey and women and growing up fast

                        F#
Fussing and loving and  itching like grass

          B                     G#m
Hell that one paper kid wasn't really so mean

         F#                      B
Just a  little bit weird cause  times were so lean

         E         F#               G#m      E
Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream

  B                   G#m
No camels no coffee no cold morning winds

E
It was wrote on a rock

    G#m              F#      B       B  G#m  E  F#
The one paper kid is rollin' again.                              

   G#m                 F#    B
The one paper kid is rollin' again.
