[Intro] C G F x2 [Verse 1]
C              G
 She said she hated tourists

        F
 But she wanted to travel the world

C                         G
 Said the best things in life were free

            F
 And then worked all day to feed herself

          C                         G
 She said, you never know what you got until it's gone

              F
 And she complained about the rain like she'd never seen the sun

           C                    G
 She said good things come to those who wait

               F
 And then she waited four hours for a cancelled train
[Hook] She said
C                     (G) F
 You try and catch me
I'll never stop running
         Am                        G             F
 With a pound in my pocket and my life inside a bag

C                     (G) F
 You try and catch me
I know where I'm going
          Am                                 G              F
 I'll be half way round the world before you even know I'm gone
She said I'm moving on C G F [Verse 2]
C                         G
 She fell in love with a book once

F
 Fell in love with the page

C                          G
 She fell in love with the author

F
 Didn't remember his name

                C                         G
 She read your soul weighs nothing but a lump in your throat

     F
 The one's you see less are the one's you love most

         C                   G                F
 So she burnt that book and flew down, to the coast
[Hook] C G F x4 [Verse 3]
           C
 So she's sitting on a train with her bags at her feet
Stories entertain every pair of ears that she meets
           Am           G
 She's got gold in her soul

C
 What she wants, nobody knows
She's got two right feet and a bag full of clothes
           Am           G
 She's got gold in her soul

        C
 Going nowhere slowly and that's what she needs
She's on the right track to where she'd rather be
            Am          G
 She's got gold in her soul
[Hook]
