A                         D    A
I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore

                E              A/E  E
That's how you learn, you just get burned

A                               D      A
But we don't have to feel like dirt anymore

Though love's not earned, baby it's our turn

We were always lookin' for true north

With our heads in the clouds, just a little off course

B                             Bsus      B                       A

Gonna take our stand, in this Chevy van

Windows open on the rest of the world

A        E                              A/E   E
Holdin' hands, all the way to Dixieland

B
We've been tryin' to turn our lives around

Since we were little kids, it's been wearin' us down

B                                Bsus    B                    A

I heard your mama callin', I think she was just stallin'

E                                  B
Don't know who she was talkin' to, baby me and you

D                                 A
We could go down with a smile on, don't bother to pack your nylons

E                                   Badd4
Just keep them pretty legs showin', it gets hot down where we're goin'
