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