[Intro 1]
[Em][Bm][Em][Bm][Em][D][C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G]
[Am][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Bm][Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 1]
I [Em]buckle in [Bm]my s[Em]eat belt,
and plug my headset [Bm]in a c[Em]hair
[D]And to the mus[C]ic,
[G]I watch f[C]light a[G]ttendants m[C]ove[G][C]
[G]They are[Am] pointing out the exits,
but it looks more like a prayer
[Bm]Or an ancien[Em]t danc[Bm]e thei[Em]r
[Bm]bloodline reaches [Em]through

[Verse 2]
[Em]
These planes are [Bm]good for [Em]sifting
[Bm]through [Em]the warriors [Bm]from the [Em]men
[D]I get t[C]ime t[G]o sit and w[C]atch
them [G]for a [C]while[G][C]
[G]You can see [Am]everywhere they're going,
[Em]and ever[Am]ywhere they've been
And [Bm]how they l[Em]ook out [Bm]at the cloud
[Em]s each time [Bm]they smile
[Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 3]
And I think, maybe he's in town
[D]for someone's [C]birthday
Or [Em]maybe he [Bm]makes [Em]trouble
[Bm]every[C]where
But as [A]much as he res[Em]ists the [Bm]con versat[Em]ion
[Bm]between the [C]rivers and [Am]the freeways
He knows it's [Bm]always there
[Em]

[Verse 4]
As the northwest [Bm]passage [Em]sits
some[Bm]where [Em]below me as I sleep
I dream [Bm]of capta[C]ins an[G]d ex
[C]plorers [G]eat[D]ing [C]boots[G][C]
[G]When I a[Am]sk if I can join them
[Em]and they offer[Am] one to me[Bm]
I [Em]wake up [Bm]as my ho[Em]me comes
in[Bm]to view
[Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]So I r[Em]each down fo[Bm]r my notebo[Em]ok to see
[Bm]what im[Em]pressions could [Bm]be sp[Em]un
But [D]it's just [C]buildings [G]and a mil
[C]lion [G]swimming [C]pools[G][C]
[G]So I [Am]leaf back through the pages
[Em]to s[Am]ee where I am from
Or [Bm]for some crum[Em]bling [Bm]map of w[Em]hat
it's lead[Bm]ing to
[Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 6]
And I find that the hero in the
song that I [D]am [C]writing
Doesn't [Em]know he's [Bm]just
an im[Em]age of [Bm]myself[C]
But as [A]much as he res[Em]ists the [Bm]con versat[Em]ion
[Bm]between the [C]rivers and the freeways
[Am]He's somehow always [Bm]ask ing them for help

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][F][C][F]
[C][A][D][A][D][A][Bm][Em]
[Bm][Em][Bm][Em][D]
[C][G][C][G][C][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Bm]
[Em][Bm][Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 7]
I want to make [Am]out all of the
signs I've [Em]been ig[Am]nor [D]ing
How [G]the trees reach [D]for the [G]sky [D]or in
the [C]length of [G]someone's [C]hair[Am]
'Cause [Em]when you don't [Am]know
where [Em]you [Am]are goi[D]ng[Em]
Any [Bm]road will take you
there
[C]

[Verse 8]
[Em][Bm]
[Em]So maybe I'm in town
[D]for someone's [C]birthday
Or [Em]maybe I [Bm]make [Em]trouble [Bm]everywhere[C]
But as [A]much I res[Em]ist the c[Bm]on versat[Em]ion
[Bm]between the [C]rivers and [Am]the freeways
I know it's [Bm]always [Em]there[Am]
I know it's [Bm]always [Em]there[Am]
I know it's [Bm]always there
[Em]
