Ethel Cain – Thoroughfare (Guitar)

     E                                      D            Dsus2
You fell in love with America when you were 12 years old

        A                            E
And by 17 you knew you had to see it all

      E                                           D       Dsus2
You loved your dad and the love he had for your mother so

            A                                 E
You had to get out and go chasin' it's sweet call

   E                                        D          Dsus2
I met you there in Texas somewhere on the thoroughfare

        A            Am                                 E
On the side of the road in some torn up clothes with a pistol in my pocket

           E                                                        D     Dsus2
I didn’t trust no one but you said "Baby, don’t run, I’ll take you anywhere"

      A                                             E
So I hopped right in, outta luck to spend, and at least your truck beats walking

              E                                   D   Dsus2
And you said "Hey, do you wanna see the west with me?

       A                                    E
Cause lovе's out there and I can’t leavе it be"

             E                                D   Dsus2
And I said "Honey, love's never meant much to me

          A                                          E
But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need"

            E                                D               Dsus2
So we made off for California to find your lover, driving day and night

     A                               E
And every small town diner saw our faces at least once or twice

              E                                D           Dsus2
But in these motel rooms, I started to see you differently

               A                                             E
Cause for the first time since I was a child, I could see a man who wasn’t angry

                          E                                            D                   Dsus2
And he said “It's been a long damn time since I left Florida, no one left to leave, no one left to love

                A                                        E
But now that I met you, I finally know just where I’m headin'”

              E                                               D
And we found heaven in time where your western sunshine met my deep southern wet

             A                                           E
And you got lost in it and yet you found yourself hard pressed for air and sweatin'

               E                                  D
And you said "Hey, do you wanna see the west with me?

                      Dsus2
(Do you wanna see the west with me?)

        A                                   E
Cause love's out there and I can’t leave it be"

             E                                     D
And I said "Honey, love's never meant that much to me

          Dsus2
(Nothing much)

          A                                          E
But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need"

          E                                                      D                   Dsus2
Once we reached the coast you said "End of the line, we finally hit the edge, after all this time

          A                        E
I didn't find my love but I still made it this far without it"

              E                                                   D                      Dsus2
But then you turned to me and stared into me deep and said "But maybe not, cause look at what I've got

               A                         E
You might not be my love, but, baby, I doubt it"

               E                                  D    Dsus2
And you said "Hey, do you wanna see the west with me?

        A                                   E
Cause love's out there and I can’t leave it be"

             E                                D
And I said "Honey, love's never meant much to me

           A                                         E
But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need"

E               D                       Dsus2                     A                              E
 Cause in your pickup truck with all of your dumb luck is the only place I think I’d ever wanna be
