[E] [Am] I [Bm] know just where my feet should [E] go, but that's another [Am] story.
[Bm] I'm sitting around and knocking [A] down [Em] doors across the sea.
And I [B] travel very far when [E] suddenly [Em] I'm so far away.
[Bm] Three small [F#] ships, the same thing [E] goes.
Who wants a distance show?
[B] So [F#] the lightning of a [E] cigarette, I'm on a miss.
[Bm] And I'm a secret cave [A] where [G] they all be [Em] on each last day.
[E]
But when they have my pocket, even [C#m] something of my worth,
[E] I'm somewhere I'm not going, [A] I get [E] absorbed.
But I bet you'd fall before the dawn, [A] that's how it changes my [E] mind.
So that I'm your mother, that's how [Em] the world is found.
He dug my [E] treasure before the iron [Am] gate.
[B] He quickly rang the bell, [Am] hoping I hadn't come too [Bm] late.

[A] [G] [Em] the road.
