Verse 1:

DbmDbm           Dbm7Dbm7
I met her at a racetrack

DbmDbm               Dbm7Dbm7
It was right before some concert

DbmDbm              Dbm7Dbm7
On a blanket selling bracelets

DbmDbm              Dbm7Dbm7
She was searching for a sponsor

DbmDbm          Dbm7Dbm7
I moved her to Montana

DbmDbm              Dbm7Dbm7
We hung on for several summers

DbmDbm              Dbm7Dbm7
It got druggie and we crumbled

DbmDbm                Dbm7Dbm7
But still I never haven't loved her

Chorus:

     A augmentedA        E MajorE BB
When you panic in the city

       DbmDbm        Dbm7Dbm7
It feels like one too many walls

    A augmentedA          E MajorE BB
When it thunders in the canyon

      DbmDbm
You get the feeling you're too small

Verse 2:

DbmDbm
I washed up and I wandered

DbmDbm                  BbM7Bbm7
I did whatever business looked the best

DbmDbm               Dbm7Dbm7
I found a savior then I lost Him

DbmDbm            Dbm7Dbm7
Had a kid and all the rest

DbmDbm              Dbm7Dbm7
Then the doctor left a message

      A augmentedA        DbmDbm
Said we're looking at these numbers from your test

Bridge:

A augmentedA                 E MajorE
 When you're lonely on the prairie

    BB           DbmDbm
There's still a couple people you can call

When it thunders in the canyon

      DbmDbm
You get the feeling you're too small

Verse 3:

DbmDbm         AbmAbm
The detective was expensive

    DbmDbm
But he thought it was something he could solve

A augmentedA           E MajorE
Found her serving breakfast

   DbmDbm      AbmAbm     DbmDbm
In a cafe in the Skyway in St. Paul

    A augmentedA           DbmDbm
When we got to the Twin Cities

                       BB DbmDbm
I said man I know some songs about this place

DbmDbm                                      Dbm7Dbm7
When they swept up all the empties the parties always seemed like Such a waste

Chorus:

      A augmentedA       E MajorE BB
When you panic in the city

       DbmDbm
It feels like one too many walls

       A augmentedA         E MajorE
There's an absence in the middle

  BB       DbmDbm
The people are all high or in withdrawal

Bridge:

         A augmentedA       E MajorE
When you're lonely on the prairie

    BB           C# minorC#m

When they're down there on the blankets

E MajorE                 A augmentedA  E MajorE
You can see the lifetime in their eyes

    A augmentedA
You can purchase what they offer

E MajorE                     A augmentedA  E MajorE
Or see if they've got something on the side

Outro:

  A augmentedA         E MajorE
You live your whole life

    BB       DbmDbm
Just to travel to the place you're gonna die

  A augmentedA          E MajorE
You travel your whole life

    BB       DbmDbm               BB
Just to get out to the place you're gonna die
