Another Travelin Song by Bright Eyes

NO CAPO!

B
Well I’m changing all my strings
                                    E
I’m gonna write another travellin song
  B
About all the billion highways
                               F#
And the cities at the break of dawn
B
Well I guess the best that I can do now
                                   E
Is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong
F#
And dream about a train that’s gonna
 E                        B
Take me back where I belong
B
Now the ocean speaks and spits
                               E
And I can hear it from the interstate
  B
And I’m screaming at my brother
 E                           F#
On the cell phone, he is far away
B
And I’m sayin’ nothing in the past
                               E
Or future ever will feel like today
F#
Until we’re parkin in an alley
E                         B
Just hopin that our shit is safe
 
        E                 B
So I go back and forth forever
        E                    B
All my thoughts, they come in pairs
        E              B               F#
Well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised
E                  F#              B
But I never feel quite prepared (woo!)

(DEAD STRUMMING)
Now I’m hunched over a typewriter
I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a cave
And there’s a word I can’t remember
And a feeling I can not escape
And now my ashtray’s overflowin'
I’m still starin at a clean white page
F#
And morning’s at my window
            E                 B
And she is sending me to bed again
B
Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon
                                    E
I dreamed a desert where the dead layed down
B 
I dreamed a prostituted child
                                F#
Touching an old man in a fast food crowd
B 
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin'
                                E
There was people screamin’ all around
F#
And I awoke to my alarm clock
          E                        B
Tt was a pop song, it was playin’ loud
 
           E                     B
So I will find my fears and face them
           E               B
Or I will cower like a dog
          E                       B
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
           E                F#                   B
I will fight like hell to hide that I’m giving up
