[Verse 1]
Em C
I can't trade another day in the shade
D Dsus D Dsus2
for a night on the town
Em C D Dsus D Dsus2
All this whiskey & risky behavior is wearing me down
Bm
(What are you dreaming of?)
C D
Hell, a shack in the woods would be more than enough
Bm
(What are you dreaming of?)
C D
This ain't no way to live or to try to find love
[Chorus]
C D
(Slow down) I want to live where the sunlight lights
C D
(Slow down) Feather-light on my face
C D
(Slow down) I want to leave all this neon and vice
Am Bm C
Before the fire inside me dies or finally fades to gray
[Verse 2]
Em C
I had a car – it's still parked in the yard –
D Dsus D Dsus2
I can't give it away
Em C
But I can walk to the bar and the market ain't far
D Dsus D Dsus2
if I can bear the light of day
Bm
(What are you dreaming of?)
C D
Hell, a dollar to spare would be more than enough
Bm
(What are you dreaming of?)
C D
This ain't no way to live or to try to find love
[Chorus]
C D
(Slow down) I want to live where the sunlight lights
C D
(Slow down) Feather-light on my face
C D
(Slow down) I want to leave all this neon and vice
Am Bm C
Before the fire inside me dies or finally fades to gray
[Bridge]
Em C D Dsus D Dsus2
Oh no, don't let it fade to gray
Em C D Dsus D Dsus2
Oh no, don't let it fade to gray
Em C D Dsus D Dsus2
Oh no, don't let it fade to gray
Em C D Dsus D
Oh no, don't let it fade to gray
[Verse 3]
Em C D Dsus D Dsus2
Girls will maul you and promise to call you then run away
Em C
Hell, I blew all my bread on some redhead,
D Dsus D Dsus2
it turned out that she was a he anyway
Bm
(What are you dreaming of?)
C D
Hell, a red-blooded girl would be more than enough
Bm
(What are you dreaming of?)
C D
This ain't no way to live or to try to find love
[Chorus]
C D
(Slow down) I want to live where the sunlight lights
C D
(Slow down) Feather-light on my face
C D
(Slow down) I want to leave all this neon and vice
Am Bm C
Before the fire inside me dies or finally fades to gray
[Interlude]
Em C D Dsus D Dsus2 D x2
[Verse 4]
Bm
(Well, what are you dreaming of?)
C D
I've been tainted and tattered and tarnished enough
Bm
(What are you dreaming of?)
C D
This ain't no way to live or to try to find love
[Chorus]
C D
(Slow down) I want to live where the sunlight lights
C D
(Slow down) Feather-light on my face
C D
(Slow down) I want to leave all this neon and vice
Am Bm C
Before the fire inside me dies or finally fades to gray
[Tag]
Am Bm C
Before the fire inside me dies or finally fades to gray
