Intro:

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

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

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


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

Instrumental:
|G#m |    |EM7 |    |

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


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

I'm not gonna hold my breath
