Intro - A

Verse 1:

A
well I’m changing all my strings
                                    D
I’m gonna write another travellin song
  A 
about all the billion highways
                               E 
and the cities at the break of dawn 
                 A
well I guess the best that I can do now
                                   D
is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong
E 
and dream about a train that’s gonna
D                      A 
take me back where I belong 

Verse 2:

A
now the ocean speaks and spits 
                               D
and I can hear it from the interstate 
  A                     
and I’m screaming at my brother
                            E
on the cell phone, he is far away 
A
and I’m sayin’ nothing in the past
                               D
or future ever will feel like today 
            E
until we’re parkin in an alley,
     D                      A
just hopin that our shit is safe
 
Chorus 1:

        D                 A
so I go back and forth forever
        D                    A
all my thoughts, they come in pairs
        D            F#m                Bm                   
well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised
      D                A
But I never feel quite prepared 

Verse 3:

        A
Now I’m hunched over a typewriter
                                      D                     
I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a cave
              A
And there’s a word I can’t remember
                        E     
and a feeling I can not escape 
           A
And now my ashtray’s overflowin
                                  D 
I’m still starin at a clean white page
E 
And morning’s at my window 
           D                 A 
and she is sending me to bed again

Verse 4:

A 
Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,
                                      D
I dreamed a desert where the dead lay down
            A 
I dreamed a prostitute, a child
                                   E
touching an old man in a fast food crowd
          A
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin’, 
                                D
there was people screamin’ all around 
      E
And I awoke to my alarm clock,
         D                        A
it was a pop song, it was playin’ loud

Chorus 2:
 
           D                A
So I will find my fears and face them
           D           A
Or I will cower like a dog 
       D                  F#m                    Bm
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead I will fight like hell 
   D                    A
to hide that I’ve given up
