G

I don't like to go down to the flats

C

'Cause I can't park on a hill

D

Instead of getting a rolling start

G

I have to pay the bill I guess I need that city life It sure has lots of style But pretty soon it wears me out And I have to think to smile

G

I'm thankful for my country home

C

It gives me peace of mind

D

Somewhere I can walk alone

G

And leave myself behind

G

C

D

G

It's only someone else's potato if You're pickin' someone else's patch And if you go down there anyway It very seldom lasts I found that out once long ago And it sure got me confused I still don't know which way to go To lose those old spud blues I'm thankful for my country home It gives me peace of mind Somewhere I can walk alone And leave myself behind

I came to you when I needed a rest

You took my love and put it to the test

Bm

I saw some things that I never would have guessed

D

Feel like a railroad, I pull the whole load behind me

Em

That old white line is a friend of mine

C

G

D

And it's good time we been makin'

Em

G

Right now I'm rollin' down the open road

C

G

Em

And the daylight will soon be breakin' I was adrift on a river of pride It seemed like such a long easy ride You were my raft but I let you slide I been down but I'm comin' back up again And I'm rollin' down the open road Where the daylight will soon be breakin' Right now I'm thinkin' 'bout the things that I know But it's good times that we been makin'

Why do I keep fuckin' up? I can see you on a hill (Why do I?) Comatose but walking still (Why do I?) Curves beneath your flowing gown (Why do I?) Only I could bring you down (Why do I?) Why do I keep fuckin' up? Dogs that lick and dogs that bite (Why do I?) Hounds that howl through the night (Why do I?) Broken leashes all over the floor (Why do I?) Keys left hanging in a swinging door (Why do I?) Why do I keep fuckin' up? Keep fuckin' up

At night when the sky is clear and the moon is shining down My heart goes running back to you I love the way you open up and let me in

G

So I go running back to you, over and over again

G

D

Over and over again my love Over and over again with you Over and over again my love Over and over again with you Remember the nights of love and that moment on the beach That wasn't really too long ago But we paid the price of time, and now it's out of reach And so the broken circle goes, over and over again Over and over again my love Over and over again with you Over and over again my love Over and over again with you Somewhere in a fire of love, our dreams went up in smoke We danced beneath silver rain Upon the fields of green, where time was just a joke And now the feeling's just the same, over and over again Over and over again my love Over and over again with you Over and over again my love Over and over again with you

Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts

Em

A

G

Em

G

The spirit came to me and said: You've got a move to start

Em

A

G

You've gotta take the first step

Em

A

G

You've gotta crawl to be tall

Em

A

G

Em

A

G

And then she told me somethin' that I'll never forget

Em

G

Em

G

You got love to burn

A

Em

G

You better take a chance on love

Em

G

You better let your guard down

A

Em

A

G

You better take a chance... a chance on love

Em

A

G

(Take a chance on love... on love) In the valley of hearts there's a house called the broken window 'Cause the lovers inside just quarrel all the time Why'd you ruin my life? Where you takin' my kid? And then they hold each other saying: how did it come to this?

In that mansion on the hill Around the next bend take a highway to the sun Or the rocky road, it really don't matter which one I was in a hurry but that don't matter now I had to get off that road of tears somehow There's a mansion on the hill Psychedelic music fills the air They say love lives there still In that mansion on the hill

C

G

It seemed like such an easy thing To follow ones own dream But possessions and concessions Are not often what they seem They drag you down, they load you down In disguise of security But we never used to make those deals In the days that used to be Talk to me, my long lost friend Tell me how you are Are you happy with your circumstance? Are you driving a new car? Does it get you where you want to go With a seven year warranty? Or another hundred thousand miles away From the days that used to be

And feed this world ruled by greed And feed this world ruled by greed Oh ball of fire in the summer sky Your healing light your parade of days Are they betrayed by the men of power Who hold this world in their changing hands They hold the world in their changing hands Oh freedom land can you let this go Down to the streets where the numbers grow? Respect mother earth and her giving ways Or trade away our children's days Or trade away our children's days
