Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Gsus2][G][D][Gsus2][G][Gsus2][D]

[Verse 1]
I've [D]got somethin' here,
[G]it's a chance
I'm'a[C]make my [Csus2]changes as I g[G]o
and the city lights [D]dance away [Gsus2]stars
[G]I've [C]met [Csus2]all kinds of [G]reasons why
the [D]seasons leave [Gsus2]their scars
[G]I am t[C]hin as cinnam[Csus2]on
[G]and tarnished lik[D]e these metal car[G]s
That [Csus2]drive along the riv[G]ers of tar

[Verse 2]
[D]I am weatherproof a[G]s the rain
And I've [C]fooled [Csus2]every lov[G]er
into [D]drinking up my [Gsus2]pain
I [G]am [Csus2]hanging b[C]y t[Csus2]he edges of m[G]y name,[D]
but I am [G]warm
So [C]comfortable [Csus2]for
[G]getting 'bout [D]the storm

[Verse 3]
I love [G]Minnesota, Michigan,
Colorado too
Atlanta and Montana,
Nebraska and the moon

[Verse 4]
And you
[G]I must have been a traveller
inside of the womb
Never had a place with a living room
You [Asus4]said a hous[A]e is a[G] tomb

[Verse 5]
Well zoom, zoom, [G]zoom
Here we go, Annie
No more planning
Isn't this dandy?
I've got you and you've got me
[D][G][Gsus2][G][D][Gsus2][G]

[Verse 6]
I'm [D]go ing back to [G]the lake[Gsus2]
[G]This tim[C]e of year it's fro[G]zen through
Ain't [D]nothing gonna [G]break
I'll [C]take you there [Csus2]and
[G]show you where
[D]I used to spend [G]my time
Before [C]working,
be[Csus2]fore leav[G]ing, befo[D]re wine
I [G]love

[Verse 7]
Minnesota, Michigan,
Colorado too
Atlanta and Montana,
Nebraska and the moon
And you

[Verse 8]
Life is easy come and it's easy go [G]too
Hours were the birds and I guess they flew
I [A]just can't get a grip on [G]this place,
Billy Lou

[Verse 9]
Well [G]zoom zoom zoom
Here we go, Annie
No more planning
Isn't this dandy?
I've got you and you've got me
