[Intro] D D [Verse 1]
    D              G
You followed me to Texas

    A7             D
You followed me to Utah

   D               G
We didn't find it there,

       A7
so we moved on
[Verse 2]
A7        D               G
 Then you went with me to Alabam'

A7                     D
 Things looked good in Birmingham

D                    G
 We didn't find it there,

            A7
So we moved on
[Chorus]
A7             D        G
 I know you're tired of following

A7          D
 My elusive dreams and schemes

G                D
 For they're only fleeting things,

A7          D
 My elusive dreams
D [Verse 3]
    D                  G
You had my child in Memphis

       A7                 D
Then I heard of work in Nashville

D                        G
 But we didn't find it there,

            A7
So we moved on
[Verse 4]
A7    D               G
 To a small farm in Nebraska

     A7              D
To a gold mine in Alaska

D                    G
 We didn't find it there,

            A7
So we moved on
A#7 [Bridge]
D#                   G#
 Now we've left Alaska

A#7                         D#
 Because, well, there was no gold mine

D#        G#                           A#7
 And this time, only two of us moved on
A#7
D#              G#
 Now all we have, is each other

A#7                      D#
 And, a little memory to cling to

D#                    G#           A#7
 And still you won't let me go on alone
[Chorus]
A#7            D#       G#
 I know you're tired of following

A#7         D#
 My elusive dreams and schemes

G#               D#
 For they're only fleeting things,

A#7         D#
 My elusive dreams
