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