Capo 2


Dm Am Dm Am

Dm
there?s a certain concentration of freedom between stations
        Am
or what i consider freedom in these fenced-in glass walls.
     Dm
what we learned from the movies when we were in our pre-teens
       Am
turned out to be just the echo of an imprint of a call

      C
and i meant to read two novels on my way out to the west
      Dm
but i only read the essays with the note on the first page
     C
and all i wanted to write about quickly left the scene
      Dm
after finding a hole big enough in the air conditioning.

C        Dm         C                  Dm
oh?be my home. i forget when i'm on the road.

       Dm
and i woke up every morning not knowing where i was
           Am
and if the white outside was snow or salt or painted on the glass.
   Dm
i feed off simple stories and your memories about wars
           Am
and i was staring at the scenery not remembering what cities are for.

           C
when i got out of the train at midnight in the middle of it all,
           Dm
i felt the cold in my feet and the smoke in my lungs
       C
and i ran up and down the platform measuring the train
       Dm
like a weirdly lined-up village doomed to be always travelling.

C       A#        Dm          C               A#                   Dm
z-e-p-h-y-r be my home. i forget my one true love when i'm on the road.

         Dm
cut the darkness with a plastic fork, it will swallow us whole.
            Am
there are no cars in the distance and no voices on the phone.
            Dm
everybody?s conquered the prairie just like ma & pa
             Am
and i've had one too many conversations about america.

     C
i remember the nothing shrinking down in size
               Dm
and seeing not more than if i hadn?t opened my eyes
            C
and having dreams about tidal waves and all of us in tiny boats.
            Dm
i remember sitting in a hotel room thinking my head was about to explode.


C       A#         Dm        C               A#                    Dm
z-e-p-h-y-r be my home. i forget my one true love when i'm on the road.
