[D] [A] Come on in, [D] welcome to my life.
I [A] get up in the morning, grab a cup of coffee,
check out and pack my car.
[E] [D] So I kick [A] it in, fifth gear, [A] 75, won't get your car here,
pulling in to one more city.
Well, from the looks of it, all the girls here
are really pretty.
[D] Yeah, so I'll grab my [B] soul, my key goes at the door.
I'm going to try to open up [B] my eyes. Metaphorically.
So [A] come on, sing along if you want, [D] cry if you have [A] to,
or lean back into your lover's arms.
Grab the hand of the person [D] standing right [A] next to you
and show them we are not [D] afraid here in Sudbury.
We are.
[B]
[D] [Bm]
Yes, see, I got four bags and two guitars
and my friend Jen, who helps me remember that it's [D] the fans who
get me where I [A] am.
So five clothes on a show [D] and I'm still 40 bucks in [A] the hole.
Put the room on plastic, I will sleep here
on a purple unfamiliar mattress.
Wake up [D] tomorrow and wonder where you are.
So I'll grab my soul, [B] my key goes at the door.
[D] I'm going to try to open up my eyes.
Yeah, come [A] on, sing along if you want,
[D] cry if you have to, [A] or lean back into your lover's arms.
Grab the hand of the person [D] standing right next to [A] you
and show them we are not afraid [D] here.
Of [A] who we are, calling all the [B] hippies, all the gypsies,
and all the [D] queers.
Everybody who didn't [B] fit in somewhere.
Anybody who ever didn't fit in somewhere.
Yeah, [A] you are welcome here.
You are welcome here.
You are welcome here.
You are welcome.
[D] [A]

So I'd like [A] you to dance like nobody's watching.
Love [Dm] like you never been.
I don't really know what to do in [A] this reggae.
[D] It's not really in [A] my DNA.
It just makes [Dm] me think about Roxanne.
[Dm]
You don't have to wear that dress [A] tonight.
Roxanne,
[D] you don't have to pull [A] on the red light.
[D]
You [A] don't have to pull on the red light.
