[Verse 1]
Bm7 Em7
Swipe the last drop of rain from the windshield, The clouds start to part over head
Bm7 Em7
My eyes ache after so long in darkness, After years in my spartan bed
G F#m7 Bm
Curse the sun, I can't outrun the ghosts of my dead
Bm7 Em7
Growing restless in my old chevy/ Chew my tongue like a stick of gum
Bm7 Em7
Oh how I'm dreading the dredging of past days, too many years spent on the run
G F#m7 Bm
Never stop, never slow, run from the places where I bled
[Chorus]
D C
I follow this trail of rainbows to the end of the road
Bm Em7 G F#m7
Until I arrive at last at the last place that I would call my home
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Bm7 Em7
If absence makes the heart grow fonder then I ain't been gone long enough
Bm7 Em7
I Look around at the desolate wasteland, a shattered diamond in the rough
G F#m7 Bm
No delay/just hell to pay/ for the songs I left unsung
[Chorus]
D C
And these rainbows won’t be keeping me down
Bm Em7 G F#m7
I can promise you now that those rabid dogs won’t be stickin’ around
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Bm7 Em7
Pay attention to the words of wisdom Sturm and Drang for the common man
Bm7 Em7
Forget what Connie's been telling the good guys The reason you got feet is to stand
G F#m7 Bm
Never Stop, straight ahead, never listen to what the book says
[Chorus]
D C
So I follow the trail of rainbows to the end of the road
Bm Em7 G F#m7
there aint' no pot of gold but I might get what I'm owed
D C
I can't dry the thunderclouds, but maybe I can stop the rain
Bm Em7 G F#m7
just keep my head above the water, these rainbows can't bring no pain
[Outro]
Bm7 Em7
Oh these
G F#m7 Bm
