Intro:
C    F  G  C   G  C

Verse:
N.C.                F  G  C
She dreams about it every night
                       F      G  C
She knows just how it’s going to be
                 F   G   Am
Flying down from out the right
                    F       G   C
On skates of bright and shining steel

Verse:
                     F     G   C
She keeps the book beneath her bed
                         F  G   C
A flashlight there, that no one knows
                           F G   Am
Looks at pictures from the Netherlands
                              F   G   C        F
She’ll be skating through the falling snow

Bridge:
F
Then the morning comes
F
And like a beating drum
                           C      F
Her father pounds upon the door
                           Dm
Her brother cries outside
Dm
Her mother’s petrified
                            G
So drunk, he stumbles to the floor

Verse:
N.C.                 F  G    C
The sun glows like a welding torch
                       F  G  C
Can’t escape it on the Texas plain
                   F        G   Am
The old man stands there on the porch
                          F  G    C
Tells her, “Never look at me that way”

Instrumental:
C    F  G  C
C    F  G  C
C    F  G  Am
C    F  G  C      F

Bridge:
F
The world will quiet down
F
She’ll feel safe and sound
                           C      F
Alone and curled up in her room
                            Dm
All through the winter land
Dm
Flashlight and book in hand
                    G
Where her reality resumes

Verse:
N.C.                F  G  C
She dreams about it every night
                        F     G   C
She sets her sights and makes her plan
                         F    G   Am
One day she’ll live to escape her plight
                         F G   C
And skate all the way to Amsterdam

Outro:
                         F    G   Am
One day she’ll live to escape her plight
                         F G   C
And skate all the way to Amsterdam
                     F G   C
Skate all the way to Amsterdam
                            F G   C
She’ll skate all the way to Amsterdam
