• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
G+G         D/AD/A
  Everybody wants  perspective from a hill
A minorAm            G+G        Gmaj9/F#
  But everybody's wants  can't make it past a window sill
G+G                    D/AD/A
  I can see you in your room at night, pictures on your walls
A minorAm
Little forest scenes and high school Halloweens



        G+G            Gmaj9/F#
But they don't come to you, they don't come to you at all
G+G                 D/AD/A
  All houses dream in blueprints
our houses dream so hard
A minorAm
  Outside, you can see my shoeprints
     G+G         Gmaj9/F#
I've been  dreaming in your yard

Chorus:
E MajorE                   A minorAm
  One of these days, these days will end
E MajorE             A minorAm
  The kitchen window, the light will bend
E MajorE                    A minorAm
  You'll be carving a pumpkin with a knife
E MajorE                 G+G         Gmaj9/F#
  When someone at the table says "that's not what I call a life!"

Verse 2:
G+G            D/AD/A
  The elephants are so ashamed of their size
A minorAm                   G+G   Gmaj9/F#
Hosing them down
I tell 'em, "You got pretty eyes"
G+G                 D/AD/A
  Out in the backyard
I used to make like I was a cowboy
  A minorAm                 G+G    Gmaj9/F#
I'd set my dog before a hoop and say, "Now boy, now boy!"

Chorus:
E MajorE                    A minorAm
  When the governor's heart fails, the state bird falls from its branch
E MajorE               A minorAm
  Icicles on hell's higher hills
E MajorE                A minorAm
  Meanwhile, back home at the ranch
E MajorE                      G+G      Gmaj9/F#
  I still get up early in the morning and I never knew a better place

Verse 3:
G+G                       D/AD/A
  I believe that stars are the headlights of angels
                     A minorAm
Driving from heaven to save us, to save us, look in the sky
    G+G          Gmaj9/F#
They're driving from heaven into our eyes
G+G                  D/AD/A
  And final words are so hard to devise
A minorAm                         G+G         Gmaj9/F#
  I promise that I'll always remember your pretty eyes, your pretty eyes
