Intro: F C F C F C Am7 Cmaj7

Verse 1:

F                    C         F                C
Lay me on my back a little and put my hat on my head
F                    C                  Am7               Cmaj7
I want to sleep out with the stars, not in the dark with the dead
         F                    C                F                   C
When I’m ready I’ll give you the sign, you can gather me up like a quilt
F                            C                       Am7                   Cmaj7
Tell my mother I tried, tell my cousin I lied; I was holding your hand out of guilt


CHORUS:
F                    C
They never paid my way – I bought it
Cmaj7                   C
I never stole your heart – I sought it
F                 C          Cmaj7 ....
I never knew my place anyway


Intro: F C F C F C Am7 Cmaj7


Verse 2:
F                    C                     F                 C
Cover me up with a thousand whispers and shuffle me into the night
F                         C                    Am7                       Cmaj7
Whistle and hum to the traffic rum, calling us closer to the edge of the light
F                   C               F                   C
Tell me tales that win my faith and be my champion of dreams
F                                 C                     Am7                     Cmaj7 ..
I don’t want to forget the day I left for America and things came apart at the seams


CHORUS:
F                    C
They never paid my way – I bought it
Cmaj7                   C
I never stole your heart – I sought it
F                 C          Cmaj7 ....
I never knew my place anyway


(Humming) F Fm C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 F Fm * .... C


CHORUS:
F *                   C *
They never paid my way – I bought it
Cmaj7 *                  C *
I never stole your heart – I sought it
F *                C *          Cmaj7 ....
I never knew my place anyway
