INTRO: G+G E minorEm FF E minorEm G+G E minorEm FF E minorEm A augmentedA

G+G   C majorC    FF     E minorEm
Living free is gaining on me
G+G     C majorC      FF
Can't keep ahead of my dreams
G+G  C majorC  FF      E minorEm
My relief turned out a thief
G+G     C majorC      FF
Smooth as rocks in the stream

G+G         E minorEm
This old town is a sad affair
FF      E minorEm
You be glad you're not there
G+G
It ties your hands
E minorEm
It spikes your drink
FF       E minorEm      A augmentedA
I'd say more, but I can't think

G+G   C majorC    FF      E minorEm
Lazy Jim took a bottle with him
G+G    C majorC      FF
Tried to flag down a train
G+G     C majorC
Left a note
  FF         E minorEm
Couldn't read what he wrote
G+G      C majorC    FF
A augmentedA light came on in my brain


G+G         E minorEm
This old town is a sad affair
FF      E minorEm
You be glad you're not there
G+G
It ties your hands
E minorEm
It spikes your drink
FF       E minorEm      A augmentedA
I'd say more, but I can't think

D MajorD       G+G
The hills are gold
C majorC      FF
Mornings are cold
D MajorD      G+G      C majorC    FF
Don't know a soul on the street
D MajorD      G+G    C majorC    FF
I keep to myself like everyone else
D MajorD    G+G     C majorC    FF
Nobody says much to me

G+G E minorEm FF E minorEm G+G E minorEm FF E minorEm A augmentedA

G+G   C majorC     FF       E minorEm
Go to bed, fight thoughts in my head
G+G      C majorC        FF
In the time between wake and sleep
G+G    C majorC   FF      E minorEm
Rats to kill, contracts to fill
G+G    C majorC         FF
It's on ice, but it won't keep

G+G         E minorEm
This old town is a sad affair
FF      E minorEm
You be glad you're not there
G+G
It ties your hands
E minorEm
It spikes your drink
FF       E minorEm      A augmentedA
I'd say more, but I can't think


G+G         E minorEm
