_______
VERSE 1
       B
So you told everyone
           B
You're off chasing the sun
E          F#          B
Catching a ride at the station

        E             F#
And you wouldn't come back
         B          G#m
'Til you get on the track
         E                    F#       F#7
That you somehow got carried away from

_______
VERSE 2
         B
You were once the bright futures
B
Once the proud horses
E        F#        B
Everyone wanted to bet on

    E           F#
But living will land you
   B         G#m
On different courses
         E          F#         B
Than the ones you expect to be set on

BRIDGE
                  E    
Or maybe you were bored
      B        F#
Said, no more, no more
E
Packed up your things
B               F#
Stepped out the door
E           
Maybe you were bored
      B        F#
Said, no more, no more
          E          F#
There's a name and a fortune
      G#m         A
To be made if you want it
     E                        F#
Just pick up and head for the shore

_______
VERSE 3
      B
So we drink 'til the memory
B
Fades out of sight
       E             F#          B
And we brawl 'til it all settles down
            E         F#        B        G#m
And there's music and hollerin' into the night
        E        F#          B
In this faceless forgettable town

_______
VERSE 4
        E
But you won't feel the kiss
       B
Of the ones that you miss
            G#m                 F#
When you're bellowing up at the sky
            E
And there's women in Redhook
  B
Tonight boys I tell you
        E        F#       B
There's women to dry your eyes
