_ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ Bringing me down, _ _ [F#m] _ _ I'm running aground _ _ [D] _ _ Lying [A] in the light of the [E] interstate cars _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Passing me by, _ _ [F#m] _ the buses and semis _ [D] _ _ Punching [A] like stones from a [E] slingshot on Mars _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ But I'm here by the road, _ [D] _ _ [A] bound [Bm] to the load _ I [F#] picked up [Bm] in ten thousand [E] cafes and bars _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ Alone with the rush, the [D] drivers that won't [A] pick me up
[Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ The highway, the moon, the [E] clouds and the stars _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ Black-toated winds, [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] some foreign air
With its words of a lie, [Em] where nothing is _ [C] _ true
[A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ [D] _ A mother [C#m] American [A] _ [Em] night, _ _ [A] rise from the light
[G] _ _ _ [D] Well, I'm down [A] in the U, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ I left St.
Louis, city [F#m] of blues _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ In the [A] midst of a storm, I'd rather [E] forget _ I _ [A] _ [Bm] _
_ [E] _ _ tried to pretend it came [F#m] to an end
Cause _
_ [D] _ _ you weren't [A] the woman I once [E] thought I'd met _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ But I can't deny, _ [D] oh, _ [C#m] times have [Bm] gone [F#m] by
[Bm] I _ never had doubts, so don't you [E] break that _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ And I was a man when all [D] this [A] began
_ [Bm] Who _ _ _ _ _ wouldn't think twice about being [E] there, _ yeah _
_ _ _ [D] _ Black-toated wind, _ [C#m] _ _ [A] it's better at singing
_ It's speaking of life, [Em] it passes like you
[C] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [C#m] Worthy to sing, _ [A] _ [Em] you've done better by [A] me
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] Better by me than I've [A] done by you _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ Now what's to be found, racing [F#m] around
_ You _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ carry [A] your pain wherever you [E] go _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ All full of the blues, trying [F#m] to lose
You _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
ain't gonna [A] learn what you don't [E] wanna know _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ I give you my eyes, _ [D] _ _
[A] I'm a [Bm] better liar
_ Please help them to love as well [E] as to see _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
Capture a glance, oh, [D] and [C#m] make it [Bm] dance _ _ _ _
Looking at you, looking [E] at me
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] The black-toated wind, _ [C#m] _ _ _
[A] some blowing in
_ With its words of a lie, [Em] that could almost be [C] true _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [D] _
Oh, mother [C#m] _ [A] American, now [Em] _ _
_ [G#] here [A] comes the light
[G] _ [A] _
Going [D] around, that's what I'm [A] gonna do
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Going [D] back home, that's what I'm [A] gonna do
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Turning [D] around, that's what _ [A] I'm gonna do
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Going [D] back home, that's what _ [A] I'm gonna do
_ _ _ _ [G] _
You've done better [D] by me than I've done [A] by you
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Oh, _ [D] _ _ I'm drowning [A] in you
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Oh, [D] _ _ _ [A] I'm drowning in you
_ _ _ [G] _ _
I'm going [D] back home, that's what I'm [A] gonna do
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
Oh, [D] _ I'm [A] drowning in you _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [N] _
