All the happy couples on their way to New Or-leans
Re-miFnding me of whenG we got a-C/Elong F
F C/E G7sus/D C
They're only renting time and space to fill up with their dreams
And Fdreams are what they'll haveG when they have goneC/E F
F C/E G7sus/D C
How could it be that I was born without a clue to carry on
And Fstill it is the samGe now I am olderC/E F
C/E G7sus/D C
Armed with just a will and then this love for singing songs
And Fminding less and lesGs if I am C/Ecolder F
But I Fhave this funny C/Eache and it's Fburning in my C/Echest
And it Fspreads just like a Gfire inside my C/Ebody F
Is it Fsomething God left C/Eout in my Fspirit or my C/Eflesh
Would I be Fsaved if I were Gbrave and had a C/Ebaby? F
It was never Fclear what would come C/Enext
G7sus/D C
but that's the risk and that's the test
And yoFu were the only onGe so far to C/Efollow F
C/E G7sus/D C
And no one talks about when one might stop and need to rest
Or how Flong you sit aGlone before you F
G7sus/D F G
stop looking back It's like you're waiting for Godot
And then you Fpick your sorry Gass up off the Cstreet and
C/EGo... F C/E F C/E F
And Fwhat the hell is C/Ethis? Who Fmade this bloody C/Emess?
And Fsomeone always Ganswers like a C/Emartyr F
Is it Fsomething you should C/Eknow, did you Fnever do your C/Ebest
Would you be Fsaved if you were Gbrave and just tC/Eried harder F
F C/E G7sus/D C
So now I ride the aught-one-thirty-five to New Orleans
I Ffloat a mile aGbove life's toil and troC/Euble F
C/E G7sus/D C
A thousand lonely lifetimes I still wait and then go on
A Fclown to enterGtain the happy C/Ecouples F C/E F C/E F C
