[Verse 1]
G                D
  Passing under barren skies

C                 Am
  Waiting for our worlds to collide

               G
And there you are

      D            C  Am
All alone feeling bad

G             D
  Interstate movin' again

C                  Am
  Barrel through thick and thin

         G
Side by side

       D             C   G
To survive like creosote
[Chorus]
C
  Born under widespread changes

      G
The search for higher reason

C
  Learning the ropes okay

     Am                  D
But fate just runs you around
[Interlude]
   G

[Verse 2]
G                  D
  From Memphis to New Orleans

C                Am
  In and out of railroad dreams

       G
You're out there

     D            C  Am
In scenes passing by

G                  D
  Everyone faces what they deserve

C                 Am
  A carousel to claim or curse

           G
Sticking around

     D            C   G
At least for the ride
[Chorus]
C
  Born under widespread changes

      G
The search for higher reason

C
  Learning the ropes okay

     Am                  D
But fate just runs you around
