VERSE
F I've been out on this Bb/Froad Fsome
Can't help feeling I've been Am7showing my friends Dmaround
I've seen it Bbgrowing from next to F/Anothing
Into a Gm7giant F/Aeating up your C7town
VERSE
FCalled up the tea leaves and the Bb/Fta - Frots
Asked the gypsy what she Am7sees in the palm of our Dmhands
She saw a Bbmountain and F/Awild deer running
A Gm7crazy kid becoming a F/Abetter C7man
BRIDGE
But we Gm7stuck around for the fireworks
Waiting Bbto C7explode
Shaped our A7futures, you a Dmtumbleweed
And Bbme on a yellow brick Croad
Pleasing the Gm7people some of the time
For better Bbor for C7worse
An urban A7soul in a fine silk Dmsuit
And a heart out Bbwest in a G/BWrangler C7shirt
CHORUS
And you can't go Fback and if you try it Dmfails
Looking up Bbahead I see a rusty F/Cnail
A sign hanging from Fit saying "Truth for Dmsale"
And that's what we Bbdid
No G/Blies at all just F/Cone more tale
About the CCaptain A7/C#and the DmKid

VERSE
FWe've been missing at Bb/Ftimes in Faction
Can't imagine what he Csaid he might do for Dmyou
The devil Bbgot to come to the F/Aparty sometimes
But he Gm7never got to F/Awear our shoC7es
Oh we've Fconjured up Bb/Fwhat we creFated
Way back then when I was Cstanding up in six-inch Dmheels
Now you're Bbriding off F/Ainto the sunset
And Gm7I'm still spinning F/Alike a Catherine C7wheel
BRIDGE
But we Gm7stuck around for the battle
Waiting Bbfor a C7plan
To turn you A7into the Brown Dirt CoDmwboy
And Bbme into a rocket C7man
It pleases the Gm7people some of the time
Digging Bbinto our C7roots
But I got a A7brand new pair of Dmshoes
And you're on a Bbhorse in G/Bold cowboy C7boots
CHORUS
And you can't go Fback and if you try it Dmfails
Looking up Bbahead I see a rusty F/Cnail
A sign hanging from Fit saying "Truth for Dmsale"
And that's what we Bbdid
No G/Blies at all just F/Cone more tale
