Faultline Blues by Sam Roberts
G B# G
I come from the east, I come from the heart of the beast, of the beast
G
where dreams are made in factories, where hearts pound with heavy hurried
B# G
beats, hurried beats
D B# B C G D B# G
I can’t stay here, can’t tow the line, I’m leaving for Pacific standard ti- i- - i -ime
G B# G
Now I’m heading west, trying to get this heavy weight off my chest, off my chest
G B# G
and the ones I love the best, know that 'til I reach the sunset I won’t rest, I won’t rest
D B# B C G D B# G
Left home on St. Valentine and headed for Pacific standard ti-i-i-ime
[interlude]
G B# G D
Now I’m on the trail of Kerouac, it feels unbroken too, GP died not far from here, he was
C G B# D
wailing at the moo-oo-oon
G B# G D
Twenty-nine palms are just enough, one less would be too few, you find the diamond in
C G B# D
the rough and you’re the morning de—e-e-ew
G B C G D B# G
Even ticking clocks can ease your mind when you’re counting on Pacific standard ti-i-i-i-i-ime
G B# G D C G
In orange groves on storage streets I find a steady mind, wandered with my feet in Pacific standard time
G B# G D
Human consolations burning out before they shine, just to dance a little while, in
C G B# D
Pacific standard ti-i-i-ime
G B# B C G D B# G
even ticking clocks can ease your mind when you’re counting on Pacific standard time
D B# C G D B# G
stuck between insane and sublime, you’re living on Pacific standard ti-i-i-ime.
G B# G
I come from the east, I come from the heart of the beast, of the beast
G
where dreams are made in factories, where hearts pound with heavy hurried
