A# Am7 Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm7 Gm7
Swipe the last drop of rain from the windshield, The clouds start to part over head
Dm7 Gm7
My eyes ache after so long in darkness, After years in my spartan bed
A# Am7 Dm
Curse the sun, I can't outrun the ghosts of my dead
Dm7 Gm7
Growing restless in my old chevy/ Chew my tongue like a stick of gum
Dm7 Gm7
Oh how I'm dreading the dredging of past days, too many years spent on the run
A# Am7 Dm
Never stop, never slow, run from the places where I bled
[Chorus]
F D#
I follow this trail of rainbows to the end of the road
Dm Gm7 A# Am7
Until I arrive at last at the last place that I would call my home
[Solo]
Dm7 Gm7
Dm7 Gm7
A# Am7 Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm7 Gm7
If absence makes the heart grow fonder then I ain't been gone long enough
Dm7 Gm7
I Look around at the desolate wasteland, a shattered diamond in the rough
A# Am7 Dm
No delay/just hell to pay/ for the songs I left unsung
[Chorus]
F D#
And these rainbows won’t be keeping me down
Dm Gm7 A# Am7
I can promise you now that those rabid dogs won’t be stickin’ around
[Solo]

A# Am7 Dm
[Verse 3]
Dm7 Gm7
Pay attention to the words of wisdom Sturm and Drang for the common man
Dm7 Gm7
Forget what Connie's been telling the good guys The reason you got feet is to stand
A# Am7 Dm
Never Stop, straight ahead, never listen to what the book says
[Chorus]
F D#
So I follow the trail of rainbows to the end of the road
Dm Gm7 A# Am7
there aint' no pot of gold but I might get what I'm owed
F D#
I can't dry the thunderclouds, but maybe I can stop the rain
Dm Gm7 A# Am7
just keep my head above the water, these rainbows can't bring no pain
[Outro]
Dm7 Gm7
Oh these
A# Am7 Dm
