Verse I
G^ C Em
Ah, the holes of highway bones are filled
But the Amtolls of highway Floans are billedFm
To the Dmboard of Cdirectors of Fboredom, Dm7here
So I Cslept outside the Emworried exit
And Amhurried to Favoid the decFmrepit
DmHordes of fallen CLords, I cant Fafford em, Dm7dear
Verse II
But Coverwhelmed is a C7laughing word
FTo say youve taken for Ggranted stillness
DmOn an Cever-moving FplanetDm7
CWas the glaciers C7falling heard
FWas the crumbling porchs Gutter realness
DmMade of Cash or made of FgraniteFm
Verse III
Oh, AmIm so longing for my Emmamas kiss
And Dmscratching my old Clifetimes back
FThat simpleminded Fmtenderness
CIs a pity that my A7searches lack
The Amgraveyard breathes Emreality
But Dmrealitys blurred outCside my gates
FNo matter if I Fmhesitate,
Chorus
The Cfoggy lilac B/Cwindows come
And Cm7dumb my number oGne amDm7bitionF/D...
And its too much repiCtition
Cycle through the verse chords regularly: Some added licks he does.

Verse IV
The Csouth was knee-deep Emin the weeds
And AmI was in a Fplank-wood parlorFm
DmEvery flame from Cevery mouth was Fonly worth a Dm7dime
CFeeling easier to move than Emshifting reeds
I was Amwearing my times Fon my collarFm
DmBut my colors Cdont get bright in Fseasons Dm7time
Verse V
CYour biggest grid did C7shrink and sink
FIn one nights Gwalk of blindness
DmTo Cforeign sites where Fbright lights find you Dm7out
CWhen evolution C7is extinct
And Flurking is a Gfossils kindness
DmAnd theres Cno one left under our Fsun to sign you Fmout
Verse VI
And the Ampiano strings are Emdamp and deep
And the Dmhonky-tonk is Cbreaking free
And the Fsecond-grader Fmthat you keep
CBeneath your skin is A7next to me
AmAh, who likes, who Emplays these games
And Dmwho is clutching Cto the reins
Cause FI scurried Fmopen plains
Chorus II
And Cthe foggy lilac B/Cwindows come
And Cm7dumb my number Gone amDm7bitionF/D...
And it's too much compeCtition

Verse VII - Listen to the song to hear how to play this verse
And that bleached Ccanal was rare
And B/CMa was there
And Amno one dared to Gcare Dm7 (about tomorrow)
The Croad is bare
I B/Cgo nowhere
And Amall the joy that GI'm awareDm7 (is food for sorrow)
The Cloft upstairs is B/Cunprepared
The Ambillboard fields are Gstoned in pairsDm7
The Cgravel layers and B/Criver dares
And the Amair is very Gweary Dm7
(end with a verse)
