[F] [G]
[C] And across [G] the plains of [C] Wichita, with farms [G] being sold at auction, [Am] they [C] listened to the clear New England [F] voice cut the [G] cold Kansas sky.
[C] [G]
[C] [Em] Time
[Cm] moves [Am] like a river,
[F] [G] you can either sink or [C] swim, [G]
[C] but a [G] wise [Em] man [C] learns to forgive her for [F] [G] all she's done [C] to him.
[F] No [C] one's getting [Em] younger, but [Dm] [G] a few aren't getting [C] older,
[Am] for it's all in [Em] what you feel,
[D] it's not in [G] what you're told.
[F] But [Em] [G]
[Am] you can't go back to [Em] Kansas,
[F] I [G] was there just [C] yesterday,
[G] [Am] you can't go [Em] back to Kansas,
[D] it just up and [G] blew away,
[F] so I will [C] go on loving [G] you, [F] it's [G]
easier [C] that way.
[G]
And [Am] you can't go back [Em] to Kansas,
[F] [G]

[F] [G]
[C]
I [G] see the sun [C] rise and fall,
[F] [G] and I feel the earth [C] meet my [G] shoes, [C] [G] there's no need [Am] in you believing, [C]
[F] she [G] was born in cursed [C] blues.
So
[F] why not [C] go on dreaming [Em] then, [F] yeah [G] take [C] anyone you choose,
[Am] there's nothing to [Em] be down about,
[D] cause you're either [G] Win-a-loo [F] or you.
[Em] But [G]
[Am] you can't go [Em] back to Kansas,
[F] [Dm] I was [G] there just [C] yesterday,
[Am] you can't go back [Em] to Kansas,
[D] it just up and [G] blew away,
[F] so I will [C] go on loving [Em] you,
[F] [G] cause it's easier [C] that way.
[G]
And [Am] you can't go [Em] back to Kansas,
[F] [G] that was [C] yesterday.
