Another Travelin Song Tab

by Bright Eyes


NO CAPO!




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 sayin’ nothing in the past
                               
Or future ever will feel like today

Until we’re parkin in an alley
                         
Just hopin 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 (woo!)



(DEAD STRUMMING)
Now I’m hunched over a typewriter
I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a cave
And there’s a word I can’t remember
And a feeling I can not escape
And now my ashtray’s overflowin'
I’m still starin at a clean white page

And morning’s at my window
                             
And she is sending me to bed again

Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon
                                    
I dreamed a desert where the dead layed down
 
I dreamed a prostituted child
                                
Touching an old man in a fast food crowd
 
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin'
                                
There was people screamin’ all around

And I awoke to my alarm clock
                                  
Tt was a pop song, it was playin’ 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
