[Verse 1]

G                D
  Passing under barren skies
C                 Am
  Waiting for our worlds to collide
               G
And there you are
      D            C  Am
All alone feeling bad
G             D
  Interstate movin' again
C                  Am
  Barrel through thick and thin
         G
Side by side
       D             C   G
To survive like creosote

[Chorus]

C
  Born under widespread changes
      G
The search for higher reason
C
  Learning the ropes okay
     Am                  D
But fate just runs you around

[Verse 2]

G                  D
  From Memphis to New Orleans
C                Am
  In and out of railroad dreams
       G
You're out there
     D            C  Am
In scenes passing by
G                  D
  Everyone faces what they deserve
C                 Am
  A carousel to claim or curse
           G
Sticking around
     D            C   G
At least for the ride

[Chorus]

C
  Born under widespread changes
      G
The search for higher reason
C
  Learning the ropes okay
     Am                  D
But fate just runs you around
