_ _ _ _ I've got something here, it's [A] a chance _ [D] I'ma make my changes [A] as I go
And the city [E] lights dance away the [A] stars _ _ [D] I've met all [A] kinds of reasons why
[E] The seasons leave their [A] scars I [D] am thin as [A] cinnamon
_ And [E] tarnished like these metal [Am] cars _ [D] That drive _
[A] along the rivers of [E] tar _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I am _ weatherproof as [A] the rain And [D] I fooled _ [A] every lover into [E] drinking up my [A] pain
_ I [D] am hanging [A] by the edges of [E] my name But I am [A]
warm, _ [D] so comfortable [A] _
forgetting _ [E] about the storm _
I [A] love Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado _ Atlanta, Montana, Nebraska, and the [E] moon and [A] you _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I must have been a traveler inside of the womb Never had a place with the living room
[E] You [A] said a house is a tomb _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Well, zoom, zoom, zoom, here we go
And no more planning, business standing I've got you and you've got me
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] I'm going back to [A] the lake _ [D] This time of year [A] it's frozen through
[E] Ain't nothing gonna [A] break _ [D] I'll take you there [A] and show you where [E] I used to spend [A] my time
_ _ [D] _ Before working, [A] before leaving, [E] before _ wine
_ _ I [A] love Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado _ Atlanta, Montana, Nebraska, and the [E] moon and [A] you _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Life is easy coming, it's easy go to I was with the birds and I guess they flew
[E] I just can't get [A] a grip on this place, really, Lou _
_ _ _ _ Well, zoom, zoom, zoom, here we go And no more planning, business standing
I've got you and you've got me _ _ _ _ _ _
