Verse 1:

F C F C
Lay me on my back a little and put my hat on my head
F C Am7 Cmaj7
I want to sleep out with the stars, not in the dark with the dead
F C F C
When I’m ready I’ll give you the sign, you can gather me up like a quilt
F C Am7 Cmaj7
Tell my mother I tried, tell my cousin I lied; I was holding your hand out of guilt


CHORUS:
F C
They never paid my way – I bought it
Cmaj7 C
I never stole your heart – I sought it
F C Cmaj7 ....
I never knew my place anyway

Verse 2:
F C F C
Cover me up with a thousand whispers and shuffle me into the night
F C Am7 Cmaj7
Whistle and hum to the traffic rum, calling us closer to the edge of the light
F C F C
Tell me tales that win my faith and be my champion of dreams
F C Am7 Cmaj7 ..
I don’t want to forget the day I left for America and things came apart at the seams


CHORUS:
F C
They never paid my way – I bought it
Cmaj7 C
I never stole your heart – I sought it
F C Cmaj7 ....
I never knew my place anyway

F * C *
They never paid my way – I bought it

I never stole your heart – I sought it
F * C * Cmaj7 ....
I never knew my place anyway
