INTRO

F | Bb | F | Dm 

VERSE 
F                      Bb/F F 
 I've been out on this road some 
                             Am7                Dm 
Can't help feeling I've been showing my friends around 
             Bb                   F/A 
I've seen it growing from next to nothing 
       Gm7   F/A            C7 
Into a giant eating up your town 

VERSE 
F                                Bb/F F 
Called up the tea leaves and the ta - rots 
                         Am7                     Dm 
Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands 
          Bb           F/A 
She saw a mountain and wild deer running 
  Gm7                  F/A    C7 
A crazy kid becoming a better man 

BRIDGE 
       Gm7 
But we stuck around for the fireworks 
        Bb C7 
Waiting to explode 
           A7             Dm 
Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed 
    Bb                   C 
And me on a yellow brick road 
             Gm7 
Pleasing the people some of the time 
           Bb     C7 
For better or for worse 
         A7                  Dm 
An urban soul in a fine silk suit 
                Bb        G/B      C7 
And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt 

Chorus 
F Dm And you can't go back and if you try it fails Bb F/C Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail F Dm A sign hanging from it saying 'Truth for sale' Bb And that's what we did G/B F/C No lies at all just one more tale C A7/C# Dm About the Captain and the Kid

VERSE F Bb/F F We've been missing at times in action C Dm Can't imagine what he said he might do for you Bb F/A The devil got to come to the party sometimes Gm7 F/A C7 But he never got to wear our shoes F Bb/F F Oh we've conjured up what we created C Dm Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels Bb F/A Now you're riding off into the sunset Gm7 F/A C7 And I'm still spinning like a Catherine wheel BRIDGE Gm7 But we stuck around for the battle Bb C7 Waiting for a plan A7 Dm To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy Bb C7 And me into a rocket man Gm7 It pleases the people some of the time Bb C7 Digging into our roots A7 Dm But I got a brand new pair of shoes Bb G/B C7 And you're on a horse in old cowboy boots Chorus
