[B]
Won't you scratch my itch, [E] sweet [B] and eerie itch, [F#] welcome me back to [B] town.
I'm out on your porch, you [E] step [B] into your [C#] parlor, and I'll tell you how it [F#] all went down.
[B] Out with the truckers and the kickers and the [E] cowboys and
[B] And a good son, every [E] single time.
Oh, and I [F#] read something you [B] once told me,
[E] Can I [F#]
[B] sleep?
[E] Twenty [F#] thousand roads [B] I went [F#] down, [G#m] down, down.
[E] They all led [F#] me straight back [B] home to you.
We went straight [E] across that [B] river break, [F#] past my half [B]-past two.
Switchman, Bravesland, [E] and goodbye, [B] good [C#] day, we waited for [F#] the flu.
[B] Hillboyds and trucks, now [F#m] fast [B]-backed, genius [E] angels.
[B] And now I know [F#]
just what I have [B] to do.
Come [D#m] to Heading West, [E]
[F#] run [B] with the country,
[G#m] Across those [F#] valleys with those [B] waves of grain.
[D#m] And I saw my devil, [E] and I saw [F#] my [B]
Lucy,
[E] And I thought about the [F#] couch [E] and the chai and [F#] the tea [B] and the tea.

The music you bring, I [E] met up [B] with the king,
Won his head [F#] in amphetamine [B]
brown.
Talked about him buckling [E] that [B] whole bottle of pills,
And [C#] I'd head out for some deadly [F#]
town.
[B] Out with the truckers and the kickers and the [E] cowboys and
And [B] a good son, every [E] single time.
But I heard [F#]
something he [B] once told me,
[E] And I [F#] didn't think it not [B] true.
[E] When he's on [F#] the road, I [B] will [F#] drown.
[G#m]
[F#] [E] They all led [F#] me straight back [B] home to you.
[E] When he calls, [F#]
