[C] [G] [Am] [G]
When [C] you go, will you send back [Dm] a letter [G] [C] from America?
Take a look up the rail track [Dm] from [G] Miami to [C] Canada.
[F] Woke up on my way out the other day, [Am] spent the evening thinking about all the blood that
I've blown [F] away across the ocean, into the second chair.
[Am] I wonder how it got on [Em] when it leached the [F] promised land.
[G] When [C] you go, will you send back [Dm] a letter [G] [C] from America?
Take a look up the rail [Dm] track from Miami to [C] Canada.
[F]
I've looked at the ocean, tried hard to imagine [Am] the way it felt to be a seal.
But where's the rust and all the [F] sculpture?
We should have held you, we should have sold you.
[Am] But you know our sense of time, we [F] always wait too [Dm] long.
[G] When [C] you go, will you send back [Dm] a letter [G]
[C] from America?
Take a look up the rail track [D] from [G] Miami to [C] Canada.

[F] I wonder what future we ever achieve, [Am] to help us get the life back to a natural [F] friend.
I speak here in our dream, I think we all could if you [Am] ever do.
We have to roll the world [Em] to prove [F] how much it [Dm] hurts.
