I live outside of town where the straight highway curves

Three years I lived nextdoor to the airport

                 G                           A
So nothing you can say to me can get on my nerves

  Em             A         D                   G

I've got room in my house for you

It cools down the place in the full heat of day

D                          C                G
A family of possums have made a home underneath the front steps

 D                     G                     A
They are majestic in their own beady-eyed homely way

  E                   A            D           G
Stay 'till you can breathe like normal people do

                       C       D
I've got room in my house for you

  Am                        G     D    Dm
They tore down the airport in 1981

  Am                          G                   A
This is where I came when I ran out of places to run

        D
Come, come

                       C          G           D
Come and stay with me out here away from things

                                 G            C
Come and stay with me where the sky's real clear

D                            C                       G
I live way out where no one believes anybody could live

D                            C                        G
Sky's purple from six in the evening 'till midnight out here

                  A          D       G
Stay 'till the world goes down in flames

                 C                   D
I've got room, room in my house for you
