B
Well I’m changing all my strings
E
I’m gonna write another traveling song
B
About all the billion highways
F#
And the cities at the break of dawn
B
Well I guess the best that I can do now
E
Is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong
F#
And dream about a train that’s gonna

Take me back where I belong
B
Now the ocean speaks and spits
E
And I can hear it from the interstate
B
And I’m screaming at my brother
E F#
On the cell phone, he is far away

And I’m sayin’ nothing in the past
E
Or future ever will feel like today
F#
Until we’re parkin in an alley
E B
Just hoping that our shit is safe
E B
So I go back and forth forever
E B
All my thoughts, they come in pairs
E B F#
Well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised

I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a cave
B
And there’s a word I can’t remember
F#
And a feeling I can not escape
B
And now my ashtray’s overflowin'
E
I’m still starin at a clean white page
F#
And morning’s at my window
E B
And she is sending me to bed again

Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon

I dreamed a desert where the dead laid down

I dreamed a prostituted child
F#
Touching an old man in a fast food crowd
B
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin'
E
There was people screamin’ all around
F#
And I awoke to my alarm clock
E B
It was a pop song, it was playin’ loud
E B
So I will find my fears and face them
E B
Or I will cower like a dog
E B
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
E F# B
I’ll fight like hell to hide that I’m giving up
