Intro: Em C (4x)
Em C
I've got no need for open roads
Em C
Cause all I own fits on my back
Em C
I see the world from rusted trains
Em C
And always know I won't be back
Am Em
Cause all my life is wrapped up in today
G C
No past or future here
Am
If I find my name's no good
Em
I just fall out of line
C
But I miss you
G
But there's comin' home
D
There's no comin' home
With a name like mine
Em C
I still think of you
G
But everyone knows
D
Yeah everyone knows
If you care, let it go
Short interlude:
Em
C
I seen more places than I can name
Em C
And over time they all start to look the same
Em C
But it ain't that truth we chase
Em C
No, it's the promise of a better place
Am Em
But all this time, I been chasin' down a lie
G C
And I know it for what it is
Am
But it beats the alternatives
Em
So I'll take the lie
C
I still miss you
G
There's no goin' home
D
There's no goin' home
With a name like mine
Em C
I still dream of you
G
But everyone knows
D
Yeah everyone knows
If you can, let it go
