Verse:
Bm D
I'm a vagabond just wandering along
A G
An obscure stretch of the drag
Bm D
I don't sleep much at all but don't get me wrong
A G
I brought it on myself with this flag
Bm
that I'm waving high
D A Bm
Trying to keep boots dry for high ground to lay my head
Bm D A Bm
and for a moment I spy when I close my eyes, a picture of her face instead
[Refrão] G A
Still I find myself in some town
D G
Burning the pillars of tradition down
G D
And waking up on the wrong side of fantasy

to wake up with her instead

I can't place where I lost track
