[Verse]
A         E      A         D
I grew up here   all of my life
      Bm           E       A  E
But I dreamed some day I'd go
          A         E             A      D
Where the blue-eyed girls and the red guitars and
    Bm    E      A
The naked rivers flow
 
D
I'm not all I thought I'd be
     A
I've always stayed around
D
And I've been as far as Mercy and Grand
B7             E7
Frozen to the ground
 
A            E            A         D
I can't stay here and I'm scared to leave
   Bm      E        A     E
So kiss me once and then
A          E       A        D
I'll go to hell, I might as well
   Bm        E        A
Be whistlin' down the wind
 
[Break]
D                     A
 The bus is at the corner
D                A
 Clock on the wall
D             A
 Broken down windmill
    B7             B7
And no wind at all
D                  A
 I've yelled and I cursed
D                    A
 If I stay here I'll rust
D                     A
 I'm stuck like a shipwreck
    B7               B7
Out here in the dust
 
[Instrumental]
A E A D Bm E A E
A E A D Bm E A E
 
A          E           A          D
The sky is red and the world's on fire
        Bm      E           A   E
And the corn is taller than me
        A      E         A        D
And the dog is tied to a wagon of rain
        Bm      E           A   E
And the road is wet as the sea
 
D
 Sometimes the music from a dance
     A                        A
Will carry across the plains
D
 Places I've been dreaming of
      B7           E7   E7
Dream only of your face
 
          A      E          A      D
There are places where they never sleep
        Bm     E     A    E
And the circus never ends
   A      E        A           D
So I will take the Marleybone coach
         Bm        E        A     E
And be   whistling down the wind
   A      E        A          D
So I will take the Marleybone coach
        Bm        E        A    E
And be  whistling down the wind
 
[Outro]
