View chords used in this chart
I play this in F but I use a
Capo on the 4th fret and use the C position, so I charted it in C
C G
Ramblin boy, you've been around
Am
Dallas to the underground
F
High above and down below
C
Places I was scared to go
G
You sing it loud in case they heard
Am
Hanging on to every word
F
Gentle as a lullaby
C
Firecrackers in your eyes
G
And I would give anything
Am
One more night to run
F C
One more song to sing
G
You weren't asking much at all
Am
Just catch you when you fall
F
On your own
C
The long way home
C G
What's that sadness in your smile
Am
Have you been crying all the while
F
Could you lean upon my shoulder
C
Guess you die or just get older
C G
So what are we supposed to do
Am
Just walk around forever blue
F
And all this hurry-up and wait
C
Was it chance or was it fate
