~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A
It's not the road we used to know,
F#m
they tore some buildings down.
E A
The traffic's like a pack of dogs.
A
There's fewer trees, windows, fleas,
F#m
concrete on the lawn.
E A
There's people here, but you are gone.
Bm E (or u can do F#m)
And I'm fine, still swimming through time.
E A
Afraid some days I've reached the shore.
Bm E (or u can do F#m)
Make yourself free, a man said that to me.
E A
Now my heart is like an open door.
Bm E
And the road finally gave me back
E A F#m
but I don't think I'll unpack
Bm E A
'Cause I'm not sure if I live here anymore.

(Harmonica solo that im not going to figure out)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Dead stumming through out this part of the verse(place your hand lightly over the
not pushing down hard enough to get a note though))
It's not my weight that makes me faint.
for the sugar in my blood.
But the way these strangers stand so close.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(play the chords very faintly for this part)
A
They say my name, like a guessing game.
F#m
"Is that really you?"
E A
No, I don't think it ever was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bm E (or u can do F#m)
In the spring, when the world's turning green,
E A
I only think about the fall,
Bm E (or u can do F#m)
or the frets on the board my progression of chords.
E A
Oh how I want this to resolve.
Bm E
And the road finally gave me back,
A F#m
but I don't think I'll unpack.
Bm E A
'Cause I'm not sure if I live here anymore.
