|G# minorG#m |  |EM7 |  |G# minorG#m |

Verse 1:
G# minorG#m         E MajorE
It was a long way to go
            G# minorG#m
From Louisiana to Laredo
              E MajorE
With everything that they owned
               G# minorG#m
Boxed up in the back of a van
              E MajorE
She would have gone to the moon
                 G# minorG#m
If that's what it took to follow him
                E MajorE
It's funny what love makes you do

Verse 2:
G# minorG#m
Standing alone
                E MajorE
There in the kitchen she's packing up plates again
 G# minorG#m
Standing alone
          E MajorE
She is remembering every fight with him
 G# minorG#m
Thinking alone
             E MajorE
What am I doing here in this ghost town?
G# minorG#m
Now that he's gone
             E MajorE
There isn't a reason for me to stick around


Chorus:
                    F#F#
And she says maybe I'll move to California
       G# minorG#m     F#F#     E MajorE
With the unbroken part of my heart I still have left
             F#F#
Maybe I'll fall in love again someday
     G# minorG#m    F#F#  E MajorE
I'm not gonna hold my breath
     G# minorG#m    F#F#  E MajorE
I'm not gonna hold my breath

Instrumental:
|G# minorG#m |  |EM7 |  |

Verse 3:
 G# minorG#m
Which way to go
            E MajorE
When every road leads away from the things you wanted
 G# minorG#m
Which way to go
             E MajorE
When every memory is built like a home that's haunted
 G# minorG#m
Closing your eyes
                E MajorE
Dream of a place where things turn out the way you plan
 G# minorG#m
Everything dies
               E MajorE
Dream of a place where the living resides again

Chorus:
                    F#F#
And she says maybe I'll move to California
       G# minorG#m     F#F#     E MajorE
With the unbroken part of my heart I still have left
             F#F#
Maybe I'll fall in love again someday
     G# minorG#m    F#F#  E MajorE
I'm not gonna hold my breath
     G# minorG#m    F#F#  E MajorE
I'm not gonna hold my breath
