The songs in my head they always seem to be so sentimental
D C#dim7 Em7 A
And here in my heart they always echo out so clear
D C#dim7 Em7 A
But when I hear them out loud, all the melodies they start to jumble
D C#dim7 Em7 A
The lines I thought were the best, now seem so insincere
D F# G E/G#
So I wasted no time, I thumbed a ride with a stranger
D A D A
And I said, Take me anywhere but here
D C#dim7 Em7 G(b5)
Every chord I play, sounds a bit diminished
D C#dim7 Em7 NC
the dissonance plagues me and the stanzas lay unfinished
D C#dim7 Em7 A
Still I sing along, but the words I form lack innovation
D C#dim7 Em7 A
so I’ll take the open road in search of inspiration
D F# G E/G#
So I wasted no time, I thumbed a ride with a stranger
D A D D7
And I said, Take me anywhere but here
G/B Gm/A# D/A E/G#
Some people think, they are always on the brink of something
G F# F#7/E Bm Bm/A
Better than, what they ever had before
G E/G# D/A E/G
Me I'm the same, You know I'm a hopeless romantic that way
G E/G#
But, it seems that this town has been keeping me down
D/A E/G#
And I can’t stick around one more day
G A D A
So, I'll be on my way
