Verse 1:

Dbm                     Dbm7
I met her at a racetrack

Dbm                             Dbm7
It was right before some concert

Dbm                           Dbm7
On a blanket selling bracelets

Dbm                            Dbm7
She was searching for a sponsor

Dbm                   Dbm7
I moved her to Montana

Dbm                           Dbm7
We hung on for several summers

Dbm                           Dbm7
It got druggie and we crumbled

Dbm                                Dbm7
But still I never haven't loved her

Chorus:

         A                E  B
When you panic in the city

It feels like one too many walls

        A                    E  B
When it thunders in the canyon

            Dbm
You get the feeling you're too small

Verse 2:

Dbm
I washed up and I wandered

Dbm                                    Bbm7
I did whatever business looked the best

Dbm                             Dbm7
I found a savior then I lost Him

Dbm                       Dbm7
Had a kid and all the rest

Dbm                           Dbm7
Then the doctor left a message

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

A                                 E
  When you're lonely on the prairie

        B                     Dbm
There's still a couple people you can call

You get the feeling you're too small

Dbm                  Abm
The detective was expensive

       Dbm
But he thought it was something he could solve

A                      E
Found her serving breakfast

     Dbm           Abm         Dbm
In a cafe in the Skyway in St. Paul

        A                     Dbm
When we got to the Twin Cities

                                              B  Dbm
I said man I know some songs about this place

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

Chorus:

            A             E  B
When you panic in the city

              Dbm
It feels like one too many walls

              A                 E
There's an absence in the middle

    B              Dbm
The people are all high or in withdrawal

You get the feeling you're too small

Verse 4:

     Dbm
When they're down there on the blankets

E                                 A    E
You can see the lifetime in their eyes

        A
You can purchase what they offer

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

Outro:

You live your whole life

Just to travel to the place you're gonna die

You travel your whole life

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