Capo on 2nd Fret

C x 4

     C              Am
I've been stuck inside this house too long
     C                 G
Where my parents used to catch me sneaking out when I was young
       F       G        C    Em7   Am
From the kitchen to the hallway where I used to sing my songs
        G
When they were gone

       C             Am
But now I've seen so many things since then
     C              G
I've seen enemies turn lovers and then just become good friends
     F        G           C     Em7  Am
I caught up with some old loved ones and then I just lost touch again
      G
Hey how ya been? (I've been travelin' rock n rollin' hey how you been?
      G7
I've been workin' havin' children)

     F                G
All this chasing after sunsets, all this shootin' at the moon
    Am                Dm
Got us drinkin' from the gutter, pickin' food out of the broom
       F                     G
But it ain't hard to second guess yourself when you're dressin' up a wound
         C    F Am G C
Ain't that the truth

      C           Am
Suzy's dressed up in her go out shoes
      C              G
She takes a walk down by the water every time there's a full moon
       F       G        C    Em7   Am
She's broken every heart in town and if you haven't seen her moves
        G
You'll see 'em soon

       C           Am
But I don't mess with her much anyhow
    C                   G
'Cause girls like that were born to build you up then bring you down
       F         G         C   Em7   Am
And besides all off those old worries just don't bother me much now
      G
Cause I got new ones, tried and true ones, bills pass due ones
           G7
Interest accrue ones, hole in my shoe ones

     F                 G
All this up and down the highway all those wasted afternoons
    Am                Dm
Got us askin a lot of questions, hope to get an answer soon
       F                  G
'Cause if you try to sing too hard, you just start singin' outta tune
          C  F Am  G
And that's what I do ooh ooh ooh
        C  F Am  G
That's what I do ooh ooh ooh



      C             Am
So now it's grass cocaine alcohol and pills
      C               G
They might either drag you under or help supplement your bills
     F          G        C   Em7  Am
It just depends what you need worse be it the money or the thrills
          G     G7
Well… I could use both   Both!

         C            Am
'Cause it's been taxi van airport bus and train
       C                  G
These days I can't tell much between em they all start to feel the same
       F        G       C     Em7  Am
Just close my eyes and rest my head right up against the window pane
         G                G7
Like a picture frame Like a self portrait Like another self portrait!

  F              G
So radio my folks I think we're coming in on fumes And
Am              Dm
All this heavy cargo has just capsized our pontoon
      F               G
So tell the kitchen tell the hallway tell all the other rooms
       C  F Am G
I'll see ya soo ooh ooh oon     x4
