Verse:
D                               Dsus4
I've got somethin' here, it's a chance
      Dsus4/C              Dsus4/B
I'm'a make my changes as I go and the city lights
D              Dsus4
Dance away the stars
       Dsus4/C           Dsus4/B        D                    Dsus4
I have met all kinds of reasons why the seasons leave their scars
     Dsus4/C          Dsus4/B     D                Dsus4
I am thin as cinnamon and tarnish like these metal cars
     Dsus4/C          Dsus4/B      D     D
That drive along the rivers of the tar
             D           Dsus4
I am weatherproof as the rain
         Dsus4/C      Dsus4/B     D             Dsus4
And I've fooled every lover into drinkin' up my pain
     Dsus4/C       Dsus4/B     D              Dsus4
I am hangin by the edges of my name, but I am warm
    Dsus4/C      Dsus4/B           D       D
So comfortable forgetting bout the storm

Pre-chorus:

I love Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado too
G

And You
G
Must've been a traveler inside of the womb
G
Never had a place with a living room
A                            A
You said a house is a tomb

Verse:
          D           Dsus4
I'm going back to the lake
     Dsus4/C           Dsus4/B
This time of year it's frozen through
      D            Dsus4
Aint nothing gonna break
          Dsus4/C            Dsus4/B
Well I'll take you there and show you where

I used to spend my time
       Dsus4/C         Dsus4/B        D       D
Before workin', before leavin, before wine

I just can't get a grip on this place, Billy Lou
