Verse
F# E D#
The scenery rides by just like floats lost in a parade
D F#
Where the palms and tumbleweeds sail
B/F# D F#
Right past the homes they stretch and they fade
B/F# D E C#
Rolling like movie credits far beneath the clear skies
[Chorus]
F# G#m
How wary does the West carry?
B
So many sights, yeah, let's see the sights
F# G#m
Slow prayers with no answers
D A C# F#
Must go somewhere, fall away
D#m F#
And the Wild West is a slow pan
B G#m
And the sunshine is fake
D#m F#
And the ocean is just painted
B G#m
On a backdrop downtown
[Verse 2]
F# E D#m
The miniature sprawls blur from the set lights and the heat
D F#
Where the summer's path with charades
B/F# D F#
Right where the sidewalks crack and they meet
B/F# D E C#
Just like a sad, sad actress right before her last scene
[Chorus]
F# G#m
How wary does the West carry?
B
So many sights, yeah, let's see the sights
F# G#m
Slow prayers with no answers
D A C# F#
Must go somewhere, fall away
D#m F#
And the Wild West is a slow pan
B G#m
And the sunshine is fake
D#m F#
And the ocean is just painted
B G#m B
On a backdrop somewhere downtown
[Outro]
F# G#m B
