All the happy couples on their way to New Or-leans
F G C/E F
Re-minding me of when we got a-long
F C/E G7sus/D C
They're only renting time and space to fill up with their dreams
F G C/E F
And dreams are what they'll have when they have gone
F C/E G7sus/D C
How could it be that I was born without a clue to carry on
F G C/E F
And still it is the same now I am older
C/E G7sus/D C
Armed with just a will and then this love for singing songs
F G C/E F
And minding less and less if I am colder
F C/E F C/E
But I have this funny ache and it's burning in my chest
F G C/E F
And it spreads just like a fire inside my body
F C/E F C/E
Is it something God left out in my spirit or my flesh
F G C/E F
Would I be saved if I were brave and had a baby?
F C/E
It was never clear what would come next
G7sus/D C
but that's the risk and that's the test
F G C/E F
And you were the only one so far to follow
C/E G7sus/D C
And no one talks about when one might stop and need to rest
F G F
Or how long you sit alone before you
G7sus/D F G
stop looking back It's like you're waiting for Godot
F G C
And then you pick your sorry ass up off the street and
C/E F C/E F C/E F
Go...
F C/E F C/E
And what the hell is this? Who made this bloody mess?
F G C/E F
And someone always answers like a martyr
F C/E F C/E
Is it something you should know, did you never do your best
F G C/E F
Would you be saved if you were brave and just tried harder
F C/E G7sus/D C
So now I ride the aught-one-thirty-five to New Orleans
F G C/E F
I float a mile above life's toil and trouble
C/E G7sus/D C
A thousand lonely lifetimes I still wait and then go on
F G C/E F C/E F C/E F C
A clown to entertain the happy couples
