Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

 Over the tracks,

 with a sack full of matches,

 I'm gonna burn all the letters I've wrote.

 Don't worry, darling,

 I ain't brave enough to catch it

 this fire that's licking my hopes.

Chorus

 Besides, if I went up

 like a soaked rolling paper,

 I'd still be fast-burning-out.

 And what's the use of a good, strong noose

 when your problem's too much hanging around?

Verse

 So I walked back crashing,

 my pockets full of ash in

 the latesummer moon's holy glow.

 that loved me to death on the banks of every river,

 where every breath in brought me home.

Chorus

 'Cause if home's where hearts is

 beating like a bird's wing,

 then I've many homes and I should:

 said a man who wasn't homeless,

 "I'm always just traveling

 taking walks around my neighborhood."

Verse

 Wisdom: it comes

 but age don't unlock it.

 You've got to spend all the passion you've found.

 With more change in their heads

 than in all of their pockets,

Outro

 some can show you the way to slow down. (oooh...)

 Sometimes we all need to slow down.
