Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA
We got off the plane in the cold, cold rain
   E MajorE
Lost track of the hour, lost track of the day
    D MajorD           B minorBm       E MajorE
We were very far away from anywhere we'd been before

  A augmentedA
We got on a bus and we went to the city
  E MajorE
Got off at a stop because we liked the name
    D MajorD
We were in for an adventure
      B minorBm       E MajorE
And that's all we knew for sure
    D MajorD        F# minorF#m       E MajorE
And we walked until we couldn't walk no more
B minorBm          E MajorE (single strum)
Jet lag and sore feet led us to the door
   A augmentedA
Of an expensive noisy bed
        E MajorE
Where we could rest our heavy heads
  D MajorD
We slept away the rest of the day
  B minorBm      E MajorE
And well into the night
    A augmentedA       F# minorF#m    B minorBm
And we woke up with a hunger for life
        E MajorE
Well before the sun rised

  A augmentedA
We didn't have money to ride the underground
   E MajorE
So we walked the miles and miles of this town
   D MajorD
When night fell like a rock we realized
B minorBm             E MajorE       A augmentedA
We were never gonna find a patch of open ground

            E MajorE
And the rain was comin' down
               D MajorD
And the trains were shuttin' down
             B minorBm
We were worn out, wet and lost
       E MajorE       A augmentedA
There was no shelter to be found

A augmentedA  E MajorE  B minorBm  E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA  F# minorF#m (single strum)

D MajorD  E MajorE

  A augmentedA
We spent over a week of our budget
   E MajorE
On a taxi and a bed
  D MajorD
And we made plans at night to escape
   B minorBm    E MajorE
This expensive wonderland

     A augmentedA
We would set out for the wild
     E MajorE
We would see what was beyond
     D MajorD
We would sleep above the soil
       B minorBm      E MajorE
And we would travel by our thumbs

  D MajorD        E MajorE
And written above my hostel bed
  A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
In black marker it said
      D MajorD
"There's a light
    E MajorE     A augmentedA
And it never goes out"


  A augmentedA
We didn't have a clue what we were doin'
  E MajorE
We didn't even know where we wanted to go
     D MajorD
The next day we took the tube all the way
  B minorBm        E MajorE
Out to the end of the line

  A augmentedA
It took us five hours to find a place to stand
  E MajorE
We stuck out our thumbs, we raised our hands
    D MajorD
It was rainin' hard again
  B minorBm       E MajorE
But we were not surprised

D MajorD        F# minorF#m
No one wants to pick you up
E MajorE
When you're soakin' wet
    B minorBm       D MajorD
It was hard not havin' second thoughts
   E MajorE (single strum)
About goin' on this trip

    D MajorD          A augmentedA
And we ate the rest of our hostel bread
    D MajorD     A augmentedA
Under a dark, damp underpass
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
We watched the cars go past
  D MajorD        A augmentedA
The sun was sinking fast
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
But salvation came at last
   D MajorD        A augmentedA
In a little blue hatchback
  E MajorE        D MajorD       A augmentedA
And he took us a few miles down the road

  A augmentedA
The day was almost over
    E MajorE
It was hard not to give in
    D MajorD
We had made it outta the city
    B minorBm                  E MajorE
We were thinkin' about givin' up and settin' up our tent
   A augmentedA
But a Jeep pulled over then
    E MajorE
And he told us to get in
  D MajorD
He said his name was Nick
       B minorBm        E MajorE (single strum)
Right away he felt just like a friend

    D MajorD        E MajorE
And he took us to some land
      A augmentedA       D MajorD
Where some people live on buses
 D MajorD      E MajorE
Invited us to stay the night
  A augmentedA
And we could not refuse
  D MajorD        E MajorE
We got a bus of our own
    A augmentedA
And it had a soft, warm bed
  D MajorD       E MajorE
We built a little fire
    A augmentedA
And we dried our soaking shoes
    B minorBm       E MajorE
And we slept, yeah we slept
         A augmentedA
Just like little babies

  A augmentedA
The next day at Stonehenge
       E MajorE
We couldn't afford to get in
  D MajorD
We thought it would be free,
      B minorBm        E MajorE
We were surprised to see the fence
   A augmentedA
This day would set the theme
    E MajorE
Of this trip for you and me
     D MajorD
We could pay to see the sights of Europe
  B minorBm         E MajorE
Or we could choose to eat

    D MajorD          F# minorF#m
And we pressed on to an old Roman city
    E MajorE
And we made it before night
B minorBm        D MajorD
We broke down and bought some fries
   E MajorE (single strum)
Just so we could get dry

  D MajorD     A augmentedA  D MajorD     A augmentedA  D MajorD     A augmentedA
And curse the sky, curse the sky, curse the sky
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
It rains all the time

  A augmentedA
We found a spot to pitch our tent
E MajorE
It was our first night in it
  D MajorD
The rain soaked in, the ground was cold
  B minorBm      E MajorE
It sank into my bones
    A augmentedA      F# minorF#m       B minorBm
And we decided that it was way too cold
           E MajorE
To keep goin' the way we had planned to go
  A augmentedA             E MajorE
And that night we agreed that we would turn around
   D MajorD                 B minorBm       E MajorE
We'd head for warmer ground, we'd start makin' our way south

    D MajorD     E MajorE       A augmentedA        D MajorD
Oh you can't get lost if you've got no place to go
  D MajorD         E MajorE       A augmentedA        D MajorD
You can't take a wrong turn if you're not on your way home
    B minorBm        D MajorD    E MajorE   A augmentedA
And we realized just how free we really were
