First single off the new album. Enjoy.
Just standard open chords with different bassnotes illustrated by /.
Only exception is the /G# chord which I suspect Frank plays as:
/G# : 40020x

Am Em Fmaj7 G ever since my childhood i've been scared i've been afraid C G Fmaj7 D/F# of being trapped by circumstance and staying in one place Am Em Fmaj7 G so i always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored C G Fmaj7 E Am somewhere secret somewhere safe and somewhere close to the door Am Em Fmaj7 G well ive travelled many countries ive washed my feet in many seas C G Fmaj7 D/F# ive drunk with drifters in vienna and with punks in old dc Am Em Fmaj7 G and ive driven across deserts driven by the irony C G Fmaj7 E Am that only being shackled to the the road could ever i be free

Am Em Fmaj7 G I've felt old before my time but now i keep the age away C G Fmaj7 D/F# by burning up the miles and yeah by filling up my days Am Em Fmaj7 G and the nights a thousand nights ive played and a thousand more to go C G Fmaj7 E Am before i take a breath and steal myself for the next one thousand shows
