[Intro]
Em C Am Em
[Verse 1]
EmI buckle in my seatbelt and plug my headset in a chair
And to the mCusic, I watch flight attendants move
They are poAminting out the exits, but it looks more like a prayer
Or an aEmncient dance their bloodline reaches through
These plEmanes are good for sifting through
The warriors from the men
I get tCime to sit and watch them for a while
You can see Ameverywhere they're going
And everywhere they've been
In how they loEmok out at the clouds each time they smile
[Chorus 1]
And I think 'mEmaybe he's in town for someone's birtChday
Or mEmaybe he makes trouble everywhCere
But as much he resiEmsts the conversation
Between the riCvers and the freeways
AmHe knows it's aDlways theEmre'
[Verse 2]
As the NoEmrthwest Passage sits somewhere below me as I sleep
I dream of caCptains and explorers eating boots
When I aAmsk if I can join them, and they offer one to me
I waEmke up as my home comes into view
So I rEmeached out down for my notebook to see what impressions could be spun
But it's just buiCldings and a million swimming pools
So I leAmaf back through the pages to see where I am from
Or for some crEmumbling map of what it's leading to
[Chorus 2]
And I find that the hEmero in this song that I am wrCiting
Doesn't knEmow he's just an image of myselfC
But as much he resiEmsts the conversation
Between the riCvers and the freeways
He's soAmmehow always asDking them for hEmelp
[Solo]
Em C A Em
Em C Am Em
[Bridge]
I want to make oAmut all the signs I've been ignoDring
How the trGees reach for the sky or in the leCngth of someone's hair
AmCause when you don't know where you are gDoing
EmAny roadD will take you theCre
[Chorus 3]
So maEmybe I'm in town for someone's biCrthday
EmMaybe I make trouble everywheCre
But as much I resEmist the conversation
Between the rCivers and the freeways
AmI know it's aDlways thEmere
AmI know it's aDlways thEmere
AmI know it's aDlways thEmere
