Chords

From the album Last Days of Wonder [Intro] E [Verse]
E
I didn't wrap my head in roses, I didn't run screaming down the street

           Am
I didn't drive off jagged cliffs

    C               E
or dive in roaring seas

E
I broke no cage door open, I set no horses free

             Am
The day the girl at the drive-thru window

C                 E
Softly smiled at me
[Pre-Chorus]
B
Actually I did nothing

        A                      E
as she handed me a large iced tea

    B
an extra packet of ketchup

         A            E
a small bag of onion rings
[Chorus]
         C#m             F#
I didn't even smile back at her

        A                 E
I just pulled into the street

C#m                     F#
Searching my rear view mirror

    A                 E
To catch her eyes on me

                   B            
'Cause there were cars behind me 

       A                  E
and I had somewhere else to be
[Solo] E Am C E [Verse]
E
Down the street I saw an old man eating as he drove

 Am
running over empty cans

 C            E
lying in the road

E
But the billboards near the highway were full of singing birds

              Am
and all the trees were blooming green

          C                 E
in their little squares of dirt
[Chorus]
      C#m                   F#
Every dog chained in every yard

     A            E
was howling with me

             C#m             F#
But I didn't even smile back at her

        A                 E
I just pulled into the street

                   B            
'Cause there were cars behind me 

       A                     E
and I had somewhere else to be
[Outro] E
