Nobody put up the basic chords.. Cool song.. have fun.. Nima :)
F#mI wish that clouds could hold me up
BmLike I thought as a child growing up
EI wish I could sound as soothing as the rainfall
DBut F#mI am only a drop from the storm
AFeel liF#mke a tourisEt out in the country
BmOnce thAis whole woErld was all countryside
AFeel liF#mke a tourisEt in the big city
BmSoon I AwiEll simply evaporate
F#mThey took the strings up north, the drums down south
BmAfter they crossed Afghanistan a long time ago
EYou're shuffling your feet into the next dimension
DSoon skysF#mcrapers will be everywhere
AI feel liF#mke a tEourist lost in the suburbs
BmSoon the AwholEe world will be urban sprawl
AFeel like F#ma land Elover out on the ocean
BmFeel like Ea teardrAop Estreaming off of your chin
F#mSome will bet C#against you, try even to prevent you
F#mBut not many can stC#op you man, if you got a perfect plan
F#mCan they possibly try, C#I demand to know why they would doubt you
EIn this land, a thousand generations
AFeel F#mlikEe a tourist out in the desert
BmSo hoAt iEt feels like a Devil's breath
AFeel F#mlike Ea tourist out in the swampland
BmThis AwoErld is just patches of water and land
AEverywhF#mere EI go I'm a tourist
BmBut if you Estay with me, AI'll alwEays be at home
