Verse I


G^   C majorC        E minorEm
Ah, the holes of highway bones are filled
    A minorAm        FF        F minorFm
But the tolls of highway loans are billed
    DmDm    C majorC      FF    Dm7Dm7
To the board of directors of boredom, here

   C majorC         E minorEm
So I slept outside the worried exit
  A minorAm     FF      F minorFm
And hurried to avoid the decrepit
DmDm        C majorC       FF     Dm7Dm7
Hordes of fallen Lords, I cant afford em, dear

Verse II


  C majorC        C7C7
But overwhelmed is a laughing word
FF           G+G
To say youve taken for granted stillness
DmDm  C majorC      FF   Dm7Dm7
On an ever-moving planet

C majorC        C7C7
Was the glaciers falling heard
FF            G+G
Was the crumbling porchs utter realness
DmDm   C majorC       FF   F minorFm
Made of ash or made of granite


Verse III


  A minorAm          E minorEm
Oh, Im so longing for my mamas kiss
  DmDm        C majorC
And scratching my old lifetimes back
FF         F minorFm
That simpleminded tenderness
C majorC         A7A7
Is a pity that my searches lack

  A minorAm         E minorEm
The graveyard breathes reality
  DmDm         C majorC
But realitys blurred outside my gates
FF       F minorFm
No matter if I hesitate,


Chorus


  C majorC      B/C
The foggy lilac windows come
  Cm7Cm7       G+G  Dm7Dm7  F/D
And dumb my number one ambition...
           C majorC
And its too much repitition


Cycle through the verse chords regularly: Some added licks he does.

Verse IV


  C majorC          E minorEm
The south was knee-deep in the weeds
  A minorAm     FF        F minorFm
And I was in a plank-wood parlor
DmDm        C majorC        FF      Dm7Dm7
Every flame from every mouth was only worth a dime

C majorC              E minorEm
Feeling easier to move than shifting reeds
   A minorAm        FF      F minorFm
I was wearing my times on my collar
DmDm      C majorC         FF    Dm7Dm7
But my colors dont get bright in seasons time


Verse V


C majorC           C7C7
Your biggest grid did shrink and sink
FF       G+G
In one nights walk of blindness
DmDm C majorC          FF           Dm7Dm7
To foreign sites where bright lights find you out

C majorC       C7C7
When evolution is extinct
  FF      G+G
And lurking is a fossils kindness
DmDm     C majorC           FF        F minorFm
And theres no one left under our sun to sign you out


Verse VI


    A minorAm        E minorEm
And the piano strings are damp and deep
    DmDm      C majorC
And the honky-tonk is breaking free
    FF       F minorFm
And the second-grader that you keep
C majorC          A7A7
Beneath your skin is next to me

A minorAm         E minorEm
Ah, who likes, who plays these games
  DmDm        C majorC
And who is clutching to the reins
   FF     F minorFm
Cause I scurried open plains


Chorus II


  C majorC        B/C
And the foggy lilac windows come
  Cm7Cm7      G+G   Dm7Dm7  F/D
And dumb my number one ambition...
            C majorC
And it's too much competition

Verse VII - Listen to the song to hear how to play this verse

         C majorC
And that bleached canal was rare
  B/C
And Ma was there
  A minorAm       G+G  Dm7Dm7
And no one dared to care  (about tomorrow)

  C majorC
The road is bare
 B/C
I go nowhere
  A minorAm        G+G    Dm7Dm7
And all the joy that I'm aware (is food for sorrow)
  C majorC        B/C
The loft upstairs is unprepared
  A minorAm          G+G       Dm7Dm7
The billboard fields are stoned in pairs
  C majorC         B/C
The gravel layers and river dares
    A minorAm     G+G   Dm7Dm7
And the air is very weary
