[Intro]
N.C.
Far away from Tulsa
Way outside of town
Where people can be people and nobody puts you down
Bb
Just because they don't want you aroundN.C.
It's far out in the country
Blue skies overhead
Eb Cm I've seen it in the movies and in the books I've read Eb Bb This place is real, it's not just in my head Gm F Eb This town is a dead-end road Gm F Ab Eb Let's leave this behind, let's just get up and go
[Verse 1]
Bb F/A Eb Find a new place to call home Bb F Ab Eb Make a new life we can call our own Bb F/A Eb Someplace where we can be free Bb F Ab Eb Free to decide who we wanna be Gm F Eb It's all becoming clear Bb A place with open spaces
The sounds of whip-poor-wills
Eb We could watch the sun set over golden rolling hills Bb A house with flowers on the windowsill
[Verse 2] [JOHNNY]
And you could read us stories
And outside in the yard
Eb We'd have ourselves a garden, but we wouldn't work too hard Bb And every night we'd stare up at the stars

[Verse 4] [JOHHNY]
Gm Bb We'd sit around the fire after every day was through Eb D We'd be each other's family, Pony, start this life anew
[PONYBOY]
Gm Bb This could be a chance to have a place to rest your head Eb F You'd wake up every morning in a big old feather bed Gm Bb Like a house I’ve read in Dickens where the walls are crumbling down Eb F D I'm tired of idly watching as we're inching towards the ground Gm Bb “Ponyboy, you're just a dreamer,” that's what both my brothers say Eb F But it's all there for the taking, just a leap of faith away
I've got
[Verse 5] [PONYBOY & ENSEMBLE]
Gm Bb Great expec-tations Eb F Great expec-tations Gm F Bb Great expec-tations Eb F Great expec-tations
[Outro] [PONYBOY & JOHNNY]
Gm F Eb It's all becoming clear Gm F Ab Eb Bb There's no way we're going to find that here
