[Verse 1]
  C               F              C
You grew up in an East Kentucky coal mining town

   C                             F               C
Your teachers realized you were destined to be outward bound

  Em                    G                            Am
With your sharp wit and silver tongue the ivy league couldn't turn you down

   C                    F               C
So you headed off one fall to some old New England town
[Chorus]
Bm                                        C           G
What happens when your elevator goes up more than it comes down

Bm                                           C              G
You been losing pieces of your self ever since you left this town

Bm                                      C                G
You're so far away from your roots we worry you will never be found

G            Em                 C                          G
We pray each night that your elevator comes back to the ground
[Verse 2]
  C                           F                     C
Always worried when you left if you'd fall in with the wrong crowd

  C                     F                  C
Sons of senators and bankers make up the crowd you found

Em                               G                          Am
Majored in Poly Sci but calling lying a science don't give it a better sound

  C                                  F                   C
But you dont even see the differnce with the friends you've got around
[Chorus]
Bm                                        C           G
What happens when your elevator goes up more than it comes down

Bm                                           C              G
You been losing pieces of your self ever since you left this town

Bm                                      C                G
You're so far away from your roots we worry you will never be found

G            Em                 C                          G
We pray each night that your elevator comes back to the ground
[Verse 3]
  C                      F         C
We see you on the cable news and just look away

   C                F         C
How can a man get rich on government pay

  Em                        G               Am
Making laws and doing the peoples work is what you say

  C                   F          C
We gained a governor but lost a son today
