[F#m] [D]
[A] [E] [A]
I've never [E] had a way [F#m] with women [D] but the hills of [A] Iowa make me [E] wish that [A] I could
And I've never found a way to [F#m] say I love you but if the [A] chance came by, oh I, I would
[F#] But [F#m] way back where I come from we [D] never mean to [A] bother
We don't [Bm] like to make our passions [E] the people's concern
[A] And we walk in the world [F#m] of safe people [D] and at night we [A] walk into our houses and burn
Iowa, [E] [F#m] [D] [A] Iowa,
[E] [A] Iowa, Iowa, [E] [F#] Iowa, [D] [A]
[E] [A] Iowa
How I long [E] to fall just [F#m] a little bit to dance [A] out of the lines [E] and stray from the [A] light
But I fear [E] that to fall in [F#] love with you [D] is to fall [A] from a great [E] and [A] gruesome height
So [F#m] you know I asked a friend about it [D] on a bad day her husband had [Bm] just left her
She sat down [E] on the chair he'd left behind She [A] said, what [F#] is love, where did [F#m] it get me?
[D] Whoever thought of [A] love is [E] no friend [A] of mine

Once I had [F#] everything I gave it [F#m] up for [D] the shoulder of [A] your driveway and the [B] words I've never [A] felt
So for you I came [E] this far across [F#m] tracks [F#m] ten miles above [A] the limit and with [E] no seat [A] belt
And I'd do it again for tonight I went running through [D] the screen doors of [A] discretion
For [Bm] I woke up from a nightmare that I [E] could not stand to see
[D] You were wandering [A] out on the hills [F#m] of Iowa [D] and you were [F#] not thinking [E] of me
