Polished my shoes, I bought [Gm] a brand new hat
Moved [Bb] to a town that time forgot
[F]
Where I don't have to shave or be [Gm] approachable
No, I [Bb] can't do just what [C] I want
I [Gm] wanna walk in [C] that howlin' wind
Till [F] it scatters all my [Bb] thoughts
[Gm] Sit all alone on [C] the riverbank
Till [F] I forget that I can't talk
[Bb]
[C] Just listen
[F]
They say everyone [Dm] has a choice to make
To [Bb] be loved or to be [F] free
I told you once I felt [Gm] [Bb] invisible
And I'm sure by now you [C] see
[Gm] That what I meant is [C] I'm not all there
Until [F] I finally [Bb] leave
[Gm] Some loneliness is [C] acceptable
And [F] some's just outright [Bb] mean
It [C] gets [F] even
[Bb] For ivy crawls up [C] the garden wall
[F] Builds a ladder towards [Bb] the sun
It can't be climbed [C] but who's gonna mind
[F] If I claim it can be [Bb] done
[C] [C]
[F] Illusion
[C] And the sun goes down
[F]
[C] And the stars [Dm] come out
[Gm] The distance that I felt
[C] I can see it for myself [F] now
Boarded a train to take my [Bb]
memories back
Make up for time that I had [F] lost
I'll never know if [Gm] I'm delusional
[Bb] I believe that I [C] am not
[Gm] I'm gonna work for [C] my sanity
[F] Give it everything [Bb] I've got
[Gm] Though so far I [C] have cheated death
I [F] know someday I'll get [Bb] caught
[C] Just living
[F]
[Bb] So here we [G] go man [Am] it's [C] beautiful
Get your [F] trumpet get [G] your [Bb] drum
Keeping [C] time in a [Am] second line
It can make [F] you feel so [Bb] young
I know you say you'll [C] go all the way
[F] But that's not quite far [Bb] enough
[Gm] Someone told me [C] that same [A] thing
[Gm] Someone told [C] me that same thing
[A]
Someone told me [C] that exact [C] same thing [F] Once
Moved [Bb] to a town that time forgot
[F]
Where I don't have to shave or be [Gm] approachable
No, I [Bb] can't do just what [C] I want
