[E]
[Em] [A] [E] [B] [E] [D]
[F#] [E] [Bm]
[E] [Em] [F#m] [E] [D]
[E] Bring me down, [F#m] I'm rolling to ground, [E] [D] [A] blinded by the light of the [E] interstate cars,
Passing by [F#m] the buses and semis, [D] wandering [A] like stones from the [E] slingshot on Mars.
[A] But it's me and the road, [D] [A] we're locking [Bm] the code, that will lead us to some [E] as yet unforeseen bar.
[C#m] [A] Oh, what with the rush of the drivers [D] that won't [A] pick me up, [Bm]
[B] the [E] highway, the moon, the clouds and the stars,
[C#m] [D] And the black-throated wind, [C#] [A] it's unclear and it's like a [E] siren, it promises everything [C] new.
[A]
[D] And I'm [C#] rather [A] American, [Em] [A] I'm invisible, [G] I'm [D] up and I'm lying [A] to you.
[G] [B] [E]
[Bm] [E] Now I've listened to [F#m] silly blurs, [D] women [A] screaming, blubbing, though we won't [E] forget,
Try to pretend it [F#m] came to an end, [D] cause [A] you were the woman I [E] once thought I'd met.
[A] Oh, but I can't deny, [D] [A] [Bm] times have gone by, women with doubts and [E] thoughts of regret,
[A] When I was a man with [D] so much in [F#m] hand, [Bm] [A] [Bm] that I heard in the bush, we'd be [E] singing,
There, yeah, [D] the black-throated wind, [C#m] [A] whispering sin, [C#m] speaking of [Em] life, the buses like [C] new,
[A] [D] Is leading [C#] me to see, [A] [Em] if you [A] want to be free, [G] you've got to have your way [D] with each day, as it's granted [A] to you.
[D]
[Am] [E] [Em] [E]
[G#] [B]
[E] We do lines all around us, that [F#m] is down,
[D] somehow [A] mine went out through the window [E] to the sky,
[D] [E] Think a cow could care about [F#m] birds in the air,
[D] think a [A] raven thinks a child should [E] learn how to fly.
[F#m] [G#] [A] So I gave you my eyes, [D] [C#m] they were just a [Bm] [D] disguise, [Bm] anyway where I'm going, [E] it's too dark to see,
[Fm] [A] Listen, toss me to chance, and [C#m] watch [Bm] me dance, for I'm representing this bass [E] on the breeze,
[D] Yeah, the black-throated wind, [C#] [A] keeps on pouring in, with his words of a lie, [Em] I think just might be [C] true,
[A]
[D] I'm [C#] rather [A] American, [Em] I, [A] pick up the light, [G] going [D] right on ahead, that's what I'm [A] gonna do,
[G] Yes, I'm [D] going home, [A] that's what I'm gonna do,
[G] going right [D] on ahead, that's what I'm [A] gonna do,
[G] Oh, [D] and I'm flying [A] to you, [G] oh, I'm flying [D] to [A] you,
[G] oh, [D] I'm [A] flying to you, going [G] [D] right on ahead, that's what I'm gonna [A] do,
[G] Oh, [D] and I'm [A] flying,
