A         E      A         D
I grew up here   all of my life

      Bm           E       A  E
But I dreamed some day I'd go

          A         E             A      D
Where the blue-eyed girls and the red guitars and

    Bm    E      A      
The naked rivers flow

D
I'm not all I thought I'd be

     A                    
I've always stayed around

D
And I've been as far as Mercy and Grand

B7             E7      
Frozen to the ground

A            E            A         D
I can't stay here and I'm scared to leave

   Bm      E        A     E
So kiss me once and then

A          E       A        D
I'll go to hell, I might as well

   Bm        E        A  
Be whistlin' down the wind
[Break]
D                     A    
 The bus is at the corner

D                A   
 Clock on the wall

D             A
 Broken down windmill

    B7             B7
And no wind at all

D                  A      
 I've yelled and I cursed

D                    A    
 If I stay here I'll rust

D                     A
 I'm stuck like a shipwreck

    B7               B7
Out here in the dust
[Instrumental] A E A D Bm E A E A E A D Bm E A E
A          E           A          D
The sky is red and the world's on fire

        Bm      E           A   E
And the corn is taller than me

        A      E         A        D
And the dog is tied to a wagon of rain

        Bm      E           A   E
And the road is wet as the sea

D
 Sometimes the music from a dance

     A                        A       
Will carry across the plains

D
 Places I've been dreaming of

      B7           E7   E7
Dream only of your face

          A      E          A      D
There are places where they never sleep

        Bm     E     A    E
And the circus never ends

   A      E        A           D
So I will take the Marleybone coach

         Bm        E        A     E
And be   whistling down the wind

   A      E        A          D
So I will take the Marleybone coach

        Bm        E        A    E
And be  whistling down the wind
[Outro] A E A D Bm E A
