Verse 1:

Bm                         D
The road, a yellow line unfolds
                A                    Bm
Jagged then corrodes, Pomona first of all
                          Bm
Machines they rush in a trance
                D
Engines of despair
                    A
The taste of desert air
                    Bm
The wheels while we turn
Slowly will burn

Chorus:

Bm
Follow me, will you?
Follow me, will you?
D
Follow me down until
A
I will admire
Bm
Oh, I need someone who will

Bm  D  A  Bm

Verse 2:

Bm                    D
In parking lots you learned
                  A
Boredom made you small
                 Bm
Asphalt and the oil
Conversations dull
                  D
Memories pull you down
                 A
Engine presses toward
                     Bm
The dark the future holds
Will bring some bright morning

Chorus:

Bm
Follow me, will you?
Follow me, will you?
D
Follow me down until
A
I will admire
Bm
Oh, I need someone who will

Bm
Follow me, will you?
Follow me, will you?

I will admire
Bm
Oh, I need someone who will

Verse 3:
Bm
To find the words that lift me high
    D
I'd tear a hole up in the sky
A                                  Bm
I'd beg for your approval just to know
I'm on the right course
                            D
A trance, the engines of despair
                    A
The taste of desert air
                     Bm
The wheels while we turn
They will slowly burn

            Bm
We're not alone
              D
We are not alone
              A
We are not alone
         Bm
On this road
            Bm
We're not alone
              D
We are not alone
              A
We are not alone
         Bm
On this road
            Bm
We're not alone
              D
We are not alone
              A
We are not alone
         Bm
On this road

Follow me, will you?
Follow me, will you?
