verse 1:
EBm
So you're drivin' away these miles
AE
So far away from your southern home
EBm
Takin' your charms and dreams to the Golden State
AE
Make your way, seal your fate
Chorus:
EB
That's when you're gone away
E
Where no one will hear you cry
AB
When you're late
E
For that west Texas sky
verse 2:
EBm
When you left home, I didn't think twice
AE
Oh, I knew, you had to roam
EBm
I knew that life was getting you down
AE
You always feel alone when there's no one around
Bridge:FmBm
But who gets cut when the knife is dull?
EC#mF
And who gets lost when the map is full
FBm
Nobody wins and nobody loses
ED
Just a handful of sorrows
ADA
And too many excuses
verse 3:
EBm
You wanted to walk beside the ocean
AE
Oh, and stand beside the sea
EBm
And now you can't wait until tomorrow
A
There's so much to do
E
And so much to see
