verse 1: 
Ebm 
   There's something sweet 
      C# 
about seeing the world then 
        F# 
There's something great about 
                  B 
Kansas It's like staring across 
             Ebm 
an ocean hmmm   Like seeing the 
       C# 
first stars burn white Through 
    F# 
the swamp and trees of 
                       B 
Southern night Oh I'll always 
have those mornings in 



Ebm(hold)    F# 
   California  where the 
                   G#m 
mountains climb so tall 
    F#/Bb             B 
And waves crash blue around 
   Ebm(hold) 
you   When everyone's passed 
   F# 
out  in the van And  
        G#m    F#/Bb 
I'm the one driving 
            B 
through the land 
 


verse 2: 
Ebm              C# 
   Alone in open roading 
Ted's out in the 
F# 
seat right next to me 
          B 
Yeah He's drooling 
                  Ebm 
on his sleeve whoa   Who ever 
        C# 
made up open skies and two 
       F# 
of the bluest eyes yeah

Bridge: 
G#m         G#m Bbm B 
   Sometimes  
           B  C# 
taking off can    
Ebm C#/F        B 
   open up your eyes  
G#m        G#m  Bbm B 
   To everything 
         B C# Ebm 
that lies 
   C#   B 
in your heart

   Cause that's 
G#m Bbm B 
when     you miss  
     B   C# Ebm 
your home      And the

                      Ebm 
you about three weeks now 
                  C# 
I'm dying just to taste 
                    F# 
your lips Could we stomp 
around your back yard And 
F# 
wreck our clothes in the mud?

   Ebm(hold) 
you   When everyone's passed 
   F#

        G#m    F#/Bb 
I'm the one driving
