Fastball - The Way

Verse:

F#m
They made up their minds
                  Bm
And they started packing
       C#                             F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
       F#                   Bm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
F#m                         C#
But where were they going without ever
                F#m
Knowing the way?

F#m
They drank up the wine
                Am
And they got to talking
C#                                    F#m
They now had more important things to say
F#                                    Am
When the car broke down they started walking
F#m                         C#
Where were they going without even
                F#m      E
Knowing the way?


Chorus:

                     A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
         E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
              C#7
They'll never get cold
              D
They'll never get hungry
          A                E
They'll never get old and grey
                    A                    E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
         F#m
They won't make it home
         C#7
But they really don't care
         D
They wanted the highway
         A              E      C#7
They're happier there today


Verse 2:

F#m
Their children woke up
                    Bm
And they couldn't find them
        C#                         F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
      F#                                   Bm
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
F#m                        C#
But where were they going without ever

                F#m      E
Knowing the way?


Chorus 2:

                     A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
         E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
              C#7
They'll never get cold
              D
They'll never get hungry
              A             E
They'll never get old and grey
                   A                    E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
         F#m
They won't make it home
         C#7
But they really don't care
         D
They wanted the highway
         A             E      C#7
They're happier there today
