Thunder bay must have been a big mess
G+G
Night bus to Regina, I`m not at my best
D MajorD
Trying to play straight,
A augmentedA
But I come undone
D MajorD
No, I can`t connect, I`m missing the marks

Second night of the tour and I`m having second thoughts

Winnipeg on a Friday night

Well, it`s cold to the bone so I`m gonna get high
D MajorD A augmentedA
Starting to remember the words and the reason why

G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
And the opening act was a nice surprise
G+G D MajorD
Couldn`t get her name straight,
G+G A augmentedA
Maybe I`m too high
G+G D MajorD
Many a mile to nowhere,
G+G
Doing the same old thing
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G G+G
So I`ll sing my song and see
N.C. D MajorD
What tomorrow brings

Edmonton`s a beautiful drive
G+G
See the northern lights pull over for a while
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Ah, the silence is nice

I`m standing in line asleep on my feet

When I get home I should be tired

But my body`s burnt, my brain is wired

And I sing this song all night long
