C     F E D C



Verse
 C       E 
Over the tracks,
       Am           F
with a sack full of matches,
C                      F    E  D   C
I'm gonna burn all the letters I've wrote.
C            E
Don't worry, darling,
 Am                    F
I ain't brave enough to catch it
       C         F    E   D  C
this fire that's licking my hopes.


Chorus
 F                
Besides, if I went up
C                                  
like a soaked rolling paper,
F                           C           
I'd still be fast-burning-out.
F                       C            Am
And what's the use of a good, strong noose
          C                  F    E    D   C
when your problem's too much hanging around?



Verse
 C                  E
So I walked back crashing,
 Am                  F
my pockets full of ash in
   C           F    E    D   C
the latesummer moon's holy glow.
     C           E             Am            F
that loved me to death on the banks of every river,
      C            F  E       D  C
where every breath in brought me home.


Chorus
 F                      
'Cause if home's where hearts is
 C       
beating like a bird's wing,
     F                     C       
then I've many homes and I should:
       F                   
said a man who wasn't homeless,
  C                   Am
"I'm always just traveling
 C                  F  E    D  C
taking walks around my neighborhood."

      (Trumpet solo)

       C   E    Am   F    

       C       F   E   D   C



Verse
C          E
Wisdom: it comes
    Am        F
but age don't unlock it.
              C              F  E   D      C
You've got to spend all the passion you've found.
 C                        E            
With more change in their heads
 Am                      F
than in all of their pockets,

Outro
         C            F           Am     D   
some can show you the way to slow down. (oooh...)
  C              F    E  D    C      
Sometimes we all need to slow down.
