Capo 2
[Verse]
Am
there's a map of the world on a wall in your room
Dm Am
green pins where you wanna go
F
white pins where you`ve been, there isn't even ten
C
and you're already feeling old
Am
Pretty faces stare back from a magazine stack
Dm Am
that you read when you're feeling bored
F
look through a telescope lens, it doesn't make sense
C
you think you've been there before
[Chorus]
F C
some far off feeling, some upclose kind of ache
F E
a widescreen reason to, look the other way
[Verse]
Am
there's a place by the lake that you go when it's late
Dm Am
it's summer and the crowds are gone
F
then you sit all alone, with your thoughts getting stoned
C
just waiting for some peace so come
Am
like a thing that you tried, that you thought that you liked
Dm Am
for a minute then it all felt wrong
F
so you're changing again, all your clothes all your friends
C
it's the same as it ever was
[Chorus]
F C
some far off feeling, some upclose kind of ache
F E
some widescreen reason to, look the other way
[Bridge]
Am F Am F G
ayyyyyyyyyyaya ooooo ooo ooo
Am F G
ayyyyyyyyyyaya ladum, ladum
[Verse]
Am
Its a road that you've paved over indian graves
Dm Am
and you wonder why your dreams are crazed
F
so you cling to your wife, your kids and your life
C
theres nothing that you're gunna save
Am
put the razor to your face, hot water for a shave
Dm Am
kill the shadow of yesterday
F
clean shirt, clean pants, clean slate, second chance
C
you're going by another name
[Chorus]
F C
some far off feeling, some upclose kind of ache
F E
that instant karma, it always comes too late
[Outro]
Am F Am F G
ayyyyyyyyyyaya ooooo ooo ooo
