• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C


Verse 1:
C                   G
It seems the day we met
                  Em
Wasn't meant for lovers
        Am                D
Or the wishful thinkin' kind
C                    G
   Rememberin' that night
                    Em
When we talked for hours
         Am            D
Traded pieces of our minds

Pre-Chorus:
         Em
So once again
             C
Back to the wind
                 G                       D
And facing the music that's playing all over around in my
 Em
Head
             C                  D                       C    D
Telling me never forget how I learned to regret every sorry thing I
 G
Said


Chorus:
               C
We'll be all right
         G
Waving goodbye
            C        D     G
Vanishing down the Jersey Pike
           Em
Racin' the sun
               Cm
The fortunate ones
            D               G
Will smile upon the gyspy life.
C  G  C


Verse 2:
                 G
A million miles away
               Em
Songs of melancholy
          Am            D
Sing me softly off to sleep
C                      G
Where footsteps walk alone
                   Em
It justifies the promises
   Am             D
I never meant to keep


Pre-Chorus:
           Em
Now here I am
            C
Playing pretend
                  G                     D
And counting the exit signs passing hypnotically over my
 Em
Head
            C
Asking me where I get off
          D                    C    D
Thinking I'm better off on my own after you
 G
Said


Chorus:
               C
We'll be all right
         G
Waving goodbye
            C        D     G
Vanishing down the Jersey Pike
              Em
Head in the clouds
               Cm
Reaching for stars
            D
Hoping that I'll get home all
  G
Right
           C
Passenger side
                G
Gazing through eyes
             C     D     G
Wide as the Pensylvania sky
            Em
Racin' the sun
               Cm
The fortunate ones
             D
Will smile upon the gypsy


Bridge:
 C       G      D        G
Life is but a dream I'm told
  C          G          D         G
Where the streets are paved with gold
 C        G        D         G
Your beliefs are bought and sold
  C              G
Someone let me drive

She said
              C
We'll be all right
            G
Waving goodbye
           C         D     G
Vanishing down the Jersey Pike
              Em
Head in the clouds
               Cm
Reaching for stars
            D
Hoping that I'll get home all
  G
Right

                G
Gazing through eyes
             C     D     G
Wide as the Pensylvania sky

Racin' the sun
               Cm
The fortunate ones

Bridge:
 C       G      D        G
Life is but a dream-like joke
  C      G       D       G
Follwed with a bleeding hope
 C        G        D         G
What he read was all she wrote
        C      D       G
Won't someone let me drive
