Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

well I’m changing all my strings

 I’m gonna write another travellin song

 about all the billion highways

 and the cities at the break of dawn

 well I guess the best that I can do now

 is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong

and dream about a train that’s gonna

take me back where I belong

Verse 2

now the ocean speaks and spits

 and I can hear it from the interstate

 and I’m screaming at my brother

 on the cell phone, he is far away

and I’m sayin’ nothing in the past

 or future ever will feel like today

 until we’re parkin in an alley,

 just hopin that our shit is safe

Chorus 1

 so I go back and forth forever

 all my thoughts, they come in pairs

 well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised

 But I never feel quite prepared

Verse 3

 Now I’m hunched over a typewriter

 I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a cave

 And there’s a word I can’t remember

 and a feeling I can not escape

 And now my ashtray’s overflowin

 I’m still starin at a clean white page

And morning’s at my window

 and she is sending me to bed again

Verse 4

Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,

 I dreamed a desert where the dead lay down

 I dreamed a prostitute, a child

 touching an old man in a fast food crowd

 Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin’,

 there was people screamin’ all around

 And I awoke to my alarm clock,

 it was a pop song, it was playin’ loud

Chorus 2

 So I will find my fears and face them

 Or I will cower like a dog

 I will kick and scream or kneel and plead I will fight like hell

 to hide that I’ve given up
