verse 1: First Girl (Start Strumming)
Dm
I think about that day
G
I left him at a Greyhound station
C
West of Santa Fé
ADm
We were seventeen, but he was sweet and it was true
GC
Still I did what I had to do
Am
'Cause I just knew
Dm
Summer Sunday nights
G
We'd sink into our seats
C
Right as they dimmed out all the lights
ADm
A Technicolor world made out of music and machine
GC
It called me to be on that screen
Am
And live inside each scene
Pre-Chorus 1: First Girl & First Man
F
Without a nickel to my name
G
Hopped a bus, here I came
Am
Could be brave or just insane
Em
We'll have to see
F
'Cause maybe in that sleepy town
G
He'll sit one day, the lights are down
C
He'll see my face and think of how he...
E
...used to know me
F
Climb these hills
GAm
I'm reaching for the heights
DmGC
And chasing all the lights that shine
AmG
And when they let you down
AmG
You'll get up off the ground
AmG
'Cause morning rolls around
CE
And it's another day of sun
F-G-Am-Em (Mute)
verse 2: Young Man
Dm
I hear 'em ev'ry day
G
The rhythms in the canyons
C
That'll never fade away
A
The ballads in the barrooms
Dm
Left by those who came before
GC
They say 'you gotta want it more'
Am
So I bang on ev'ry door
Pre-Chorus 2: Second Girl
F
And even when the answer's 'no'
G
Or when my money's running low
Am
The dusty mic and neon glow
Em
Are all I need
F
And someday as I sing my song
G
A small-town kid'll come along
CE
That'll be the thing to push him on and go go
F
Climb these hills
GAm
I'm reaching for the heights
DmGC
And chasing all the lights that shine
AmG
And when they let you down
AmG
You'll get up off the ground
AmG
'Cause morning rolls around
CE
And it's another day of sun
