[Abm] Oh, I have to go searching with a black book in my hand
And look, between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
I met the walking dude, religious, in his worn out cowboy boots
He walked like no [Gb] man
[Abm]
[Bbm] [Gb] I need [Abm] your name [Gb] off the [Ebm] map
[E] The [Gb] [E]

[Gb] [Abm] And
[Gb] [E] [Abm] that's probably the first time I've looked into the forewords of this
Like, straight up searching for the map
At the end of your carriage [Gb] I'll play a few rumba
Play a few rumba
I [Ab] [Abm] [Gb]
need [Abm] your make up

Grace, a simple wooden [Gb] closet
Had no weapons, half-baked braids
And look, [Abm]
