Am  /  Am  /  Am  / Am - Dm

Am
They come from every state to find
Am
Some dreams were meant to be declined
Am
Tell the man what did you have in mind
Am            Dm
What have you come to do

Am
No turning water into wine
Am
No learning while you're in the line
Am
I'll take you to the broken sign
Am             Dm
You see these lights are blue

Am
Come and get it, lost it at the city limit
Am
Say goodbye 'cos they will find a way to trim it
Am
Everybody Lookin' for a silly gimmick
Am                    Dm
Gotta get away can't take it for another minute

Am
This town is made of many things
Am
Just look at what the current brings
Am
So high it's only promising
Dm
This place was made on you


Chorus:
F        C   G            Am
Tell me baby what's your story
F          C             G              Dm
Where you come from and where you wanna go this time, oh
F        C    G        Am
Tell me lover are you lonely
F             C       G              Dm
The thing we need is never all that hard to find, oh
F        C   G             Am
Tell me baby what's your story
F             C             G              Dm
Where do you come from and where you wanna go this time, oh
F        C     G        Am
Your so lovely are you lonely
F      C          G             Dm    
Giving up on the innocence you left behind


Some claim to have the fortitude
To shrewd to blow the interlude
Sustaining pain to set a mood
Step out to be renewed

I'll move you like a baritone
Jungle brothers on the microphone
Getting over with an undertone
It's time to turn to stone

Chitty chitty baby when your nose is in the nitty gritty
Life could be a little sweet but life could be a little shitty
What a pity Boston and a kansas city
Looking for a hundred but you only ever found a fitty

Three fingers in the honeycomb
You ring just like a xylophone
Devoted to the chromosome
The day that you left home

Chorus

Solo

Chorus ending with:

F      C          G                       Am
Giving up on the innocence you left be..hi-ind
