VERSE
FF Bb/FBb/F FF
I've been out on this road some
Am7Am7 DmDm
Can't help feeling I've been showing my friends around
Bb majorBb F/AF/A
I've seen it growing from next to nothing
Gm7Gm7 F/AF/A C7C7
Into a giant eating up your town
VERSE
FF Bb/FBb/F FF
Called up the tea leaves and the ta - rots
Am7Am7 DmDm
Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands
Bb majorBb F/AF/A
She saw a mountain and wild deer running
Gm7Gm7 F/AF/A C7C7
A augmentedA crazy kid becoming a better man
BRIDGE
Gm7Gm7
But we stuck around for the fireworks
Bb majorBb C7C7
Waiting to explode
A7A7 DmDm
Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed
Bb majorBb C majorC
And me on a yellow brick road
Gm7Gm7
Pleasing the people some of the time
Bb majorBb C7C7
For better or for worse
A7A7 DmDm
An urban soul in a fine silk suit
Bb majorBb G/BG/B C7C7
And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt
CHORUS
FF DmDm
And you can't go back and if you try it fails
Bb majorBb F/CF/C
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
FF DmDm
A augmentedA sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
Bb majorBb
And that's what we did
G/BG/B F/CF/C
No lies at all just one more tale
C majorC A7/C# DmDm
About the Captain and the Kid

VERSE
FF Bb/FBb/F FF
We've been missing at times in action
C majorC DmDm
Can't imagine what he said he might do for you
Bb majorBb F/AF/A
The devil got to come to the party sometimes
Gm7Gm7 F/AF/A C7C7
But he never got to wear our shoes
FF Bb/FBb/F FF
Oh we've conjured up what we created
C majorC DmDm
Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels
Bb majorBb F/AF/A
Now you're riding off into the sunset
Gm7Gm7 F/AF/A C7C7
And I'm still spinning like a Catherine wheel
BRIDGE
Gm7Gm7
But we stuck around for the battle
Bb majorBb C7C7
Waiting for a plan
A7A7 DmDm
To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Bb majorBb C7C7
And me into a rocket man
Gm7Gm7
It pleases the people some of the time
Bb majorBb C7C7
Digging into our roots
A7A7 DmDm
But I got a brand new pair of shoes
Bb majorBb G/BG/B C7C7
And you're on a horse in old cowboy boots
CHORUS
FF DmDm
And you can't go back and if you try it fails
Bb majorBb F/CF/C
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
FF DmDm
A augmentedA sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
Bb majorBb
And that's what we did
G/BG/B F/CF/C
No lies at all just one more tale
