The Old 97s [Intro] C E F Fm [Verse 1]
             C
I've been down

            E
I've been down too far to care

          F
I keep gettin' in my car

           Fm
But I'm not going anywhere

               C
And I've been had

        E
Well at least that's how it looks

             F
And it's not funny like on tv

            Fm
And it's not smart like it is in books

       C
And I wonder, yeah I wonder

              E
How the world keeps spinnin' round

            F
Where's a boy with bad intentions

Fm
Gonna settle down
[Chorus]
                 C       Fm
And I don't know

                  C         Fm
What you've been told

    D                         F
The streets of the where I'm from

                                      C
Are paved with hearts instead of gold

           D                          F
Yeah the streets of the where I'm from

                                     C
Are paved with hearts instead of gold
[Verse 2]
       C
I recall

     E
When I was twenty three

          F
Wondering how anyone could

Fm
Fall in love with me

          C
Now I'm old

        E
And I'm well past twenty five

      F
And I can't seem to fall in love

   Fm
No matter how hard I try

      C
And I wonder where I'll wind up

        E
But I'm heading west I know

   F
Wind my way through Texas

     Fm
And into New Mexico
[Chorus] x2
                 C       Fm
And I don't know

                  C         Fm
What you've been told

    D                         F
The streets of the where I'm from

                                      C
Are paved with hearts instead of gold

           D                          F
Yeah the streets of the where I'm from

                                     C
Are paved with hearts instead of gold
[Outro]
           D                          F
Yeah the streets of the where I'm from

                                    C
Are paved with hearts instead of gold
