[C]
Twenty [F] miles left to the show
[A] Hello my [F] old country, hello
[C] Stars are just beginning to [G] appear
And I have [Dm] never in my [D] life, the law been [Dm] here
[D]
And it's [C] my heart, not me, [F] who cannot try
[A] And at its [Bb] conclusion [F] you may [C] ride
Watching me sit here both [G] upright and quiet
For no good reason at [D] the ethering sky
And the [C] will to this strange nation
And the will to [Bb] remain for the duration
Wave them [A] a flag,
[Bb] feelin' it drag
Like a bump on [C] a bump on a log, baby
Like an inner [Bb] fist fight with a fog, baby
Step all chains and a [A] duet
And I [Bb] regret, I regret
[G] How I said to you honey just open [E] your heart
[F] When I've got trouble even [C] opening a honey jar
And that right there is [Bb] where we are
[C]
I've been [F] fed this double [A] fat
For 13 [F] questions nobody asked
[C] I'll get this joy off of [G] my shits and ass
And I will love you [Dm] till the [D] noise of longing pass
[C] And if it not be [F] to shout, just drive
[A] Just get lost [F] out, it all ain't right
[C] A road to the unknown, and [G] you know just so you see
They stand by the good intentions, [D] baby, company
[C] All [D] the [C] way to the thing we've been playing at
Darling, I can see that you're [Bb] wearing your staying hat
Darling, and for the time being [A] all is well
Won't you [Bb] love me still?
This is blindness [C] beyond all conceiving
Well behind us [Bb] the road is leaving, and leaving
And falling [A] back
Like a rope gone [Bb] slack
And [G]
the soft red weight that the layer will [F] staple
That felt so easy as [C] falling asleep
And that right there is the [Bb] course I keep
[C] And no one has [D] got a [F] song of in the [C] fall
But [Bb] like after the [F] rain, step out [G] of the [A] overhang
That's all, [C] it had a nice [D] ring to [F]
bring hope
[C] Ring, so with [Bb] a song of morning
[F] Signed, [G] sealed, delivered, I [A] sang
[C] And there is a [D] nation, and it [F] always [C] remains
[Bb]
Concerning you, [F] me, and [G] the rest of the [A] gang
[C] And in aqua [D]
[F] fury I see [C] everything
And I'm in [Bb] love with the [F] hook upon which [G] everyone [A] hangs
And [C] I know you [D] meant to show the extent to [F] which you gave a [C] girl a bang
It [Bb] rains real hot and real [F] cold, but I'm sold
[G] I am at home on that [A] range
And I do [Bb] hate to [F] fall right [G] here at the top of my game
[Am] When I've been trying [Bb] with my whole heart and [F] soul
To stay [G] right here in the right [Am] lane
[A] But it can make you [Gm] feel [Bb] over [F] and old
[G] Lord, you know it's a shame
[A] When I only want for you [Bb] to pull over and [F] hold me
Till I [G] can't remember my own [Am] name
