Verse 1:
Fm
I think about that day
A#
I left him at a Greyhound station
D#
West of Santa Fé
C7 Fm
We were seventeen, but he was sweet and it was true
A# D#
Still I did what I had to do
D# A#
'Cause I just knew
Verse 2:
Fm
Summer Sunday nights
A#
We'd sink into our seats
D#
Right as they dimmed out all the lights
C7 Fm
A Technicolor world made out of music and machine
C7 D#
It called me to be on that screen
D# A#
And live inside each scene
Pre-Chorus 1:
Fm
Without a nickel to my name
A#
Hopped a bus, here I came
Cm
Could be brave or just insane
G# G
We'll have to see
Fm
'Cause maybe in that sleepy town
A#
He'll sit one day, the lights are down
D#
He'll see my face and think of how he
G
Used to know me
Chorus:
G#
Climb these hills
A# D#
I'm reaching for the heights
Fm A# D#
And chasing all the lights that shine
Cm A#
When they let you down
Cm A#
You get up off the ground
Cm A#
The morning rolls around
D# D#m
And it's another day of sun
Verse 2:
Fm
I hear 'em ev'ry day
A#
The rhythms in the canyons
D#
That'll never fade away
C7
The ballads in the barrooms
Fm
Left by those who came before
A# D#
They say "you gotta want it more"
Cm
So I bang on ev'ry door
Pre-Chorus 2:
Fm
And even when the answer's "no"
A#
Or when my money's running low
Cm
The dusty mic and neon glow
G# G
Are all I need
Fm
And someday as I sing my song
A#
A small-town kid'll come along
D# G
That'll be the thing to push him on and go go
Chorus:
G#
Climb these hills
A# D#
I'm reaching for the heights
Fm A# D#
And chasing all the lights that shine
Cm A#
When they let you down
Cm A#
You get up off the ground
Cm A#
The morning rolls around
D# D#m
And it's another day of sun
Cm A#
And when they let you down
Cm A#
The morning rolls around
