Chords with lyrics
Capo 2
DmDm A minorAm DmDm A minorAm
DmDm
there?s a certain concentration of freedom between stations
A minorAm
or what i consider freedom in these fenced-in glass walls.
DmDm
what we learned from the movies when we were in our pre-teens
A minorAm
turned out to be just the echo of an imprint of a call
C majorC
and i meant to read two novels on my way out to the west
DmDm
but i only read the essays with the note on the first page
C majorC
and all i wanted to write about quickly left the scene
DmDm
after finding a hole big enough in the air conditioning.
C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm
oh?be my home. i forget when i?m on the road.
DmDm
and i woke up every morning not knowing where i was
A minorAm
and if the white outside was snow or salt or painted on the glass.
DmDm
i feed off simple stories and your memories about wars
A minorAm
and i was staring at the scenery not remembering what cities are for.
C majorC
when i got out of the train at midnight in the middle of it all,
DmDm
i felt the cold in my feet and the smoke in my lungs
C majorC
and i ran up and down the platform measuring the train
DmDm
like a weirdly lined-up village doomed to be always travelling.
C majorC A#A# DmDm C majorC A#A# DmDm
z-e-p-h-y-r be my home. i forget my one true love when i?m on the road.
DmDm
cut the darkness with a plastic fork, it will swallow us whole.
A minorAm
there are no cars in the distance and no voices on the phone.
DmDm
everybody?s conquered the prairie just like ma & pa
A minorAm
and i?ve had one too many conversations about america.
C majorC
i remember the nothing shrinking down in size
DmDm
and seeing not more than if i hadn?t opened my eyes
C majorC
and having dreams about tidal waves and all of us in tiny boats.
DmDm
i remember sitting in a hotel room thinking my head was about to explode.
C majorC A#A# DmDm C majorC A#A# DmDm
z-e-p-h-y-r be my home. i forget my one true love when i?m on the road.
