Capo 4
(Intro)
Cadd9
(Verse)
Fmaj9
I could move to a small town
Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
And become a waitress
Fmaj9
Say my name was stacy
Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
And I was figuring things out
G Fmaj9 Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
See, my baby, he left me
G Fmaj9 Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
And I don't feel like staying here tonight
(Verse)
Fmaj9
I remember sleepless nights
Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
I remember chicago
Fmaj9
I remember the music
Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
From the downstairs bar
G Fmaj9 Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
Girls, they just want to have fun
G Fmaj9 Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
And the rest of us hardly know who we are
[Refrão]
Dm F C G
It's a dark, twisted road we are on
Dm F C G
And we all have to walk it alone
Dm F C G Dm F C G
Ooohhh Ooohhh
Dm F C G Dm F C G
Ooohhh Ooohhh
(Verse)
Fmaj9
I could join the circus
Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
When they come to town
Fmaj9
Me and the freaks, the tamers
Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
And that old sad clown
G Fmaj9 Cadd9
I'd walk across that tight rope head held high
G Fmaj9 Cadd9
So close to death I'd never fell nor lie, but you know
[Refrão]
Dm F C G
It's a dark, twisted road we are on
Dm F C G
And we all have to walk it alone
Dm F C G Dm F C G
Ooohhh Ooohhh
Dm F C G Dm F C G
Ooohhh Ooohhh
Fmaj9
I could drive out to the ocean
Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
And just stare in awe
Fmaj9
I could walk across the beaches
Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9
And sleep under the stars
G Fmaj9 Cadd9
Our love would seem trivial and obscure
G Fmaj9 Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9 Fmaj9 Cadd9 Fmaj9
Now and never feel lost anymore
Dm F C G Dm F C G
Ooohhh Ooohhh
Dm F C G Dm F C G
Ooohhh Ooohhh
