I still remember Miss Bessie singing

                    D MajorD
Black, wrinkled fingers on ivory keys

C majorC                     D MajorD
Just five years old, my church shoes a-dangling

C majorC                  G+G        C majorC
Yeah, she's long gone and I'm still chasing this song

Chorus:

   G+G    D MajorD          G+G       D MajorD
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

   G+G        D MajorD         E minorEm     D MajorD
That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

D MajorD       G+G        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it

D MajorD       G+G      E minorEm       D MajorD
 Married to a dream with a mistress named music

Verse 2:

C majorC
No hope and squarely solitary

                        D MajorD
Enough whiskey and Coke, boys, to get me in a bind

C majorC                        D MajorD
Amps juiced, the whole damn block could hear me

             C majorC
Even that cop car rolling past

             G+G
By the time they hit the front door

        D MajorD
I was out the back

Chorus:

   G+G    D MajorD          G+G       D MajorD
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

D MajorD       G+G        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it

 Married to a dream with a mistress named music

Verse 3:

C majorC
White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon

C majorC                    D MajorD
These same old boots are still tapping time

C majorC               D MajorD
Not quite the buzz I used to tie on

       C majorC        G+G
But 'til I'm gone, I'll be chasing this song

What you're doing with a clown like me

FF      E minorEm        D7D7
Is surely one of life's little mysteries

Chorus:

   C majorC     E minorEm
So tonight I'll ask

FF     G+G
The stars above

C majorC     E minorEm  FF    G+G
"How did I ever win your love?"

FF    C majorC
What did I do,

E MajorE    A minorAm
What did I say

To turn your angel eyes my way

They hang out in the local bars

And they feed right after dark

Verse: (Pink Houses)

       E MajorE
Well there's a young man, in a tee-shirt,

listening to a rockin' rollin' station

He's got greasy hair, and a greasy smile he says,

 D MajorD       A augmentedA     E MajorE
"Lord this must be my destination"

Cause they told me, when I was younger,

"Boy you're gonna be President"

But just like everything else those old crazy dreams,

          E MajorE
just kinda came and went

Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?

Ain't that America, something to see baby?

      A augmentedA          BB
Ain't that America, home of the free?

            A augmentedA
Little pink houses, for you and me

Verse: (End of the Innocence)

G+G
Remember when the days were long

    C majorC
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky

G+G
Didn't have a care in the world

     C majorC     D MajorD
With mommy and daddy standing by

   G+G
But happily ever after fails

            C majorC
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

   G+G
The lawyers dwell on small details

     E minorEm   C majorC    D MajorD
Since daddy had to fly

Chorus:

     E minor 7Em7           Am7Am7
Ah but I know a place where we can go

E minor 7Em7      Cmaj7Cmaj7     D MajorD
That's still untouched by man

E minor 7Em7             Am7Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by

    Cmaj7Cmaj7          D MajorD
and the tall grass wave in the wind

      G+G        C majorC
you can lay your head back on the ground

  G+G        C majorC
And let your hair fall all around me

G+G        C majorC
Offer up your best defense

   E minor 7Em7     Am7Am7  D MajorD        E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
But this is the end,   This is the end

      G+G
Of the Innocence
