(VERSE):(E)We're miles away from now(A)here
And the (E)wind doesn't have a name(A)
So call(E) it what you want(A) to call it
(E)Still blows down the lane   (A)   (E)   (A)
People tell me, I haven't changed at all
But I don't feel the same
And I bet you've had that feeling too
You just can't laugh all the time
(CHORUS):(D)And if the fires (E)burn out there's (C)only fire to blame
(G)  (D)No time for worry(E) cause we're (C)on the roam again.(G)
(D)the clouds all (E)scatter and we (C)ride the outside lane(G)
(D)Not on your own (E)so help me (C)please (G)hold back the rain
(VERSE):So what if the words ain't rhyming
Did you think that it's just a game
probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn
Okay go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again
 (chorus)
