I've got something here, it's a [A] chance [D] I'm gonna make my changes [A] as I go
And the city lights [E] dance away the [A] stars [D] I have made all [A] kinds of reasons why [E] the
seasons leave their [A] scars [D] I am thin as [A] cinnamon, tarnished [E] like these
metal [A] cars [D] Drive [A] along the rivers [E] of the tar
I am weatherproof [A] as the rain [D] And I've fooled [A] every lover [E] into drinking
up [A] my pain [D] I am hanging by [A] the edges of [E] my name
But I am [A] warm, [D] so comfortable [A] forgetting about [E] the storm
I [A] love Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado, Tulalip, and Montana
[E]
[B] [E] [B] [E]
[B] [A] Must have been a traveler inside a little womb Never had a place with [E] a living womb
They said a house was a tomb Zoom, [A] zoom, zoom, here we go again
No more [E] playing, [A] isn't this standing?
I've got you and you've got me

[E] I'm going back to [A] the lake [D] This time of [A] year it's frozen through
[E] Ain't nothing [A] gonna break [D] I'll take you [A] there and show you where [E] I
used to spend [A] my time [D] Before working, [A] before leaving, before [Em] wine
[A]
I love Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado, Tulalip, and Montana
The grass can't move [E] me [B] [E] [F#m] [E] [B]
[E] [A] But life is easy coming, it's easy go to
Hours with the birds and I guess they [B] flew I just can't get [E] a grip on this place
And [B] [E] [F#m] [A]
Zoom, zoom, here we go again No more playing, [E] [A] isn't this standing?
I've got you and you've got me
