This is pretty much it.  Some of the chords might not be on exactly the right word but 
get the idea.  The chords are right.  The rhythm is kinda tricky the first time you try 
just keep trying.  You'll get it.




          
well I’m changing all my strings
                                   
I’m gonna write another travellin song
  
about all the billion highways
                                
and the cities at the break of dawn
                  
well I guess the best that I can do now
                                   
is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong
     
and dream about a train that’s gonna
                            
take me back where I belong
          
now the ocean speaks and spits
                               
and I can hear it from the interstate
          
and I’m screaming at my brother
                              
on the cell phone, he is far away
                 
and I’m saying nothing in the past
                               
or future ever will feel like today
              
until we’re parking in an alley,
                             
just hoping that our shit is safe

                        
so I go back and forth forever
                              
all my thoughts, they come in pairs
                                    
well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised
                               
But I never feel quite prepared


(Mute Strings)

Now I’m hunched over a typewriter
                                      ()
I guess you’d call that painting in a cave
              ()
And there’s a word I can’t remember
                          ()
and a feeling I can not escape
            ()
And now my ashtray’s overflowing
                                   ()
I’m still staring at a clean white page


And morning’s at my window
                             
and she is sending me to bed again
          
Well I dreamed of dark on the horizon,
                                        
I dreamed a desert where the dead laid down
    
I dreamed a prostituted child
                                     
touching an old man in a fast food crowd
            
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinking,
                                
there was people screaming all around
       
And I awoke to my alarm clock,
                                  
it was a pop song, it was playing loud

                            
So I will find my fears and face them
                       
Or I will cower like a dog
                         
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
                                             
I will fight like hell to hide that I’m giving up

End on B
