Nerina Pallot – Idaho (Ukulele)

       Dm        Bb       C           G
In the back of a car on a road in the dark,

       Dm          Bb       C            G
In the stillicide, silently falling snow,

       Dm          Bb           C        G
I have packed everything that I own in a bag,

        Dm           Bb         C  G
And I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho,

  Dm       Bb         C         G
A poem for leaving, a reason to go,

       Dm           Bb         C  G
So I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho.

         F     Dm    Bb
'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me,

      F     Dm   Bb
And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,

                Gm     C                            Gm    C
I don't want to fall a-sleep and watch my life from fifty feet,

                    Gm           Bb         C   F
My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Ida-ho,

         F         C      F      C
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...

    Dm            Bb              C         G
And oh, I've been dumb, I've been perfectly beautiful,

Dm         Bb          C           G
Lain on my back buying lovers with stealth,

        Dm          Bb           C        G
But I'm sick of you all, and I'm sick of opinions,

        Dm           Bb    C         G
And I'm sick of this war I wage on myself...

  Dm                 C             Dm       C - F - C
I don't know why I'm so gripped to go there

  Dm       C           Dm     C - F - C
A universe riddle that only I know?

Dm         Bb          C          G
Mr. Robert says, "It's all in the head!"

         Dm               Bb          C   G
Tell me, Phaedrus, what's good, is it Ida-ho?

         F     Dm    Bb
'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me,

      F     Dm   Bb
And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,

                Gm     C                            Gm    C
I don't want to fall a-sleep and watch my life from fifty feet,

                    Gm           Bb         C   F
My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Ida-ho,

         F         C      F      C
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...

         F         C      F      C
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...

      C   F
...in Ida-ho.
