The songs in my head they always seem to be so sentimental
E C#dim7 F#m7 B
And here in my heart they always echo out so clear
E C#dim7 F#m7 B
But when I hear them out loud, all the melodies they start to jumble
E C#dim7 F#m7 B
The lines I thought were the best, now seem so insincere
E G# A F#/A#
So I wasted no time, I thumbed a ride with a stranger
E B E B
And I said, Take me anywhere but here
E C#dim7 F#m7 G(b5)
Every chord I play, sounds a bit diminished
E C#dim7 F#m7 NC
the dissonance plagues me and the stanzas lay unfinished
E C#dim7 F#m7 B
Still I sing along, but the words I form lack innovation
E C#dim7 F#m7 B
so I’ll take the open road in search of inspiration
E G# A F#/A#
So I wasted no time, I thumbed a ride with a stranger
E B E E7
And I said, Take me anywhere but here
A/C# Am/C E/B F#/A#
Some people think, they are always on the brink of something
A G# G#7/F# C#m C#m/B
Better than, what they ever had before
A F#/A# E/B F#/A
Me I'm the same, You know I'm a hopeless romantic that way
A F#/A#
But, it seems that this town has been keeping me down
E/B F#/A#
And I can’t stick around one more day
A B E B
So, I'll be on my way
