          Am                 Dsus2
I was on a train out in New Mexico
              G                       C
Looking for a flame for my heart of coal

Sold my Nikon lens to get outta town

Mississippi queen with a Tennessee smile
                   Am                  Dsus2
The smell of cheap coffee and Jamaican rum
                      G                       C
We watched the desert fade in the set of the sun

Am
I said I'm not feeling right

She said, "Well you'll be just fine
G                            C
Go ahead and rest till the rise

Chorus:
                        Am            Dsus2
'Cause you can't look back (can't look back)

You can't look back (can't look back)

And you can't look back (can't look back)

Verse 2:
                 Am                          Dsus2
With characters galore and too shy to see the sun
            G                     C
Pineapple pastor with the señoritas
             Am                   Dsus2
All the disenfranchised kids in a room
        G                         C
We were baptized in the Pacific moon
              Am               Dsus2
Someone put a cactus up to my tongue
                  G                 C
You can feel the love and try calling it love
              Am                Dsus2
A boy with a smile handed me his keys
               G                   C
Said, "Go ahead and try but you'll never leave"

Pre-Chorus:
Am
Someone was singing a hymn
Dsus2
And the moon, it started to spin
G                C
So I jump right in

Chorus:
                   Am                Dsus2
Singing can't look back (can't look back)
                G                C
You can't look back (can't look back)
                   Am      Dsus2
There ain't no future in the past
                    G               C
And you can't look back (can't look back)

Verse 3:
               Am                  Dsus2
The years gone by like you never planned
             G                  C
I had missed the flight out of Birmingham
                  Am                   Dsus2
The way her yellow apron walked in the room
             G                       C
There was no mistake in the way that she moved
           Am                  Dsus2
This is my boy and this is my girl
                G                               C
Yeah, I'll be in thoughts till the end of the world
          Am                        Dsus2
Somewhere tonight on the westbound train
               G                     C
Know there's wild hearts just running away

Pre-Chorus:
Am
That sounded just like a dream
Dsus2
Was she singing to me
G                   C
It was so bittersweet

Chorus:
                      Am             Dsus2
Because I can't look back (can't look back)
                  G              C
You can't look back (can't look back)
                  Am          Dsus2
There ain't no future in the past
                   G              C
And you can't go back (can't look back)
                 Am           Dsus2
You can't look back (can't look back)
                G                C
You can't look back (can't look back)
                 Am          Dsus2
There ain't no future in the past
                   G               C
And you can't go back (can't look back)
