[G#m]
Where in the hell [D#] can you go?
[B] [E] Far from the things [B] that you know
Far [E] from the sprawl [B] of concrete that keeps crawling [F#] its way
About a thousand [G#m] miles a day
Take one last look [D#] behind
[E] Commit this to [B] memory and mind
[E] Don't miss this wasteland, [B] this terrible place [F#] when you leave
Keep your heart off [G#m] your sleeve
Oh [B] motherland, cradle [F#] me
Close [E] my eyes, [B] lullaby me to sleep
Keep [E] me safe, fly with [B] me
Stay beside me, [F#] don't go
[G#m] Lonely as gold, all my fine [D#] dime queen
[E] Tell me [B] what have you seen?

It's [E] your happiness I [B] want most of all
And [E] for that I'd [C#] do [F#] anything at all
If you want [E] the best of it, all [B] the most of all
If [E] there's anything [C#]
I can do [F#] at all
[G#m]
Oh come on shotgun [D#m]
bride, [E] what makes me envy [B] your life?

What's that [G#m] like to be?
