Eliza Gilkyson - Looking for a Place
INTRO: G Em Bm (2x)
G Em
Strap my derriere to a padded chair
Bm
I fly the air in a tin can
G Em
From here to there on a wing and a prayer
Bm D
I don't even know where I am
Am Em
I'm a wandering fool burning fossil fuel
D G
Sending arrows into the dark
Am Em D G Em Bm G Em Bm
And I'm just looking for a place where I can fall apart
G Em
Throw all of my junk into the Alamo trunk
Bm
And I pull out into the lane
G Em
Cell phone's dead there's mountains ahead
Bm D
I don't even slow down for the rain
Am Em
There was a time when the road was mine
D G
And the path was lined with sparks
Am Em D G Em Bm
Now I'm just looking for a place where I can fall apart
G Em Bm D
A place where I can fall apart
INSTRUMENTAL: Am Em D G Am Em D G
BRIDGE:
Bm
Well, it's in the air, the scent of despair
C G
Nobody wants to talk about it
Bm C
We're all scared we're gonna lose our share of the dream
D
Can't live without it
G Em
My clothes are funky, I'm a sugar junkie
Bm
I'm a promo monkey in a cage
G Em
I lunge for the carrot, repeat like a parrot
Bm D
'Til I step out onto the stage
Am Em
Then the lights go down and I see your faces
D G
Shining through the dark
Am Em D G Em Bm
And I'm just looking for a place where I can fall apart
G Em Bm
A place where I can fall apart
G Em Bm
Oh, can I let my guard down tonight?
G Em Bm G Em
Is it safe enough to fall apart?
Bm G Em Bm
Looking for a place where we can fall apart
INTRO: G Em Bm (2x)
