           B
Well, I’m changing all my strings
                                   E
I’m gonna write another travelin' 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
 E                           B
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
                              F#
on the cell phone, he is far away
                 B
And I’m saying nothing in the past
                               E
or future ever will feel like today
              F#
until we’re parking 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               D#m                 C#m
Well, I will, I won’t, I doubt, I don’t, I’m not surprised
       E          F#              B
But I never feel quite prepared

(Mute Strings)
         (B)
Now I’m hunched over a typewriter
                                      (E)
I guess you’d call that painting 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 overflowing
                                   (E)
I’m still staring at a clean white page

F#
And morning’s at my window
             E                B
and she is sending me to bed again
           B
Well, I dreamed of dark on the horizon,
                                        E
I dreamed a desert where the dead laid down
    B
I dreamed a prostituted child
                                     F#
touching an old man in a fast food crowd
             B
Oh yeah, I dreamt a ship was sinking,
                                E
there was people screaming all around
       F#
And I awoke to my alarm clock,
          E                        B
it was a pop song, it was playing loud

           E                 B
So I will find my fears and face them
            E           B
Or I will cower like a dog
        E                 D#m
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
       C#m                 E             F#        B
I will fight like hell to hide that I’m giving up
