Tourist

F#m I wish that clouds could hold me up Bm Like I thought as a child growing up E I wish I could sound as soothing as the rainfall D F#m But I am only a drop from the storm A F#m E Feel like a tourist out in the country Bm A E Once this whole world was all countryside A F#m E Feel like a tourist in the big city Bm A E Soon I will simply evaporate F#m They took the strings up north, the drums down south Bm After they crossed Afghanistan a long time ago E You're shuffling your feet into the next dimension D F#m Soon skyscrapers will be everywhere A F#m E I feel like a tourist lost in the suburbs Bm A E Soon the whole world will be urban sprawl A F#m E Feel like a land lover out on the ocean Bm E A E Feel like a teardrop streaming off of your chin F#m C# Some will bet against you, try even to prevent you F#m C# But not many can stop you man, if you got a perfect plan F#m C# Can they possibly try, I demand to know why they would doubt you E In this land, a thousand generations A F#m E Feel like a tourist out in the desert Bm A E So hot it feels like a Devil's breath A F#m E Feel like a tourist out in the swampland Bm A E This world is just patches of water and land A F#m E Everywhere I go I'm a tourist Bm E A E But if you stay with me, I'll always be at home
