* = one strum

I wait, on the Emerald Isle

F C

For you to come and rescue me

From every step I can't make

Feet don't you ever break

Am G

Drag me over that line

Halfway, around the medicine ball

F C

Is far enough to blow me back

Like you broke the bank on the ticket

Worth every damn nickel

Am G

Well you got me, that time

F C

'Cause I've been on the road one day too long

F C

Can't hear the record for another sad song

F C

Look at all these faces can't all be wrong

That's a lot of my heart out there

Did you fly, a million miles

F C

For every single one that I ran

I don't know which of us is crazier

Oh sweet baby

Am G

That's the madness, I desire

And there's a twinkle, in the clifted sky

F C

Been there forever

And lights the way for the runners

The jackals and the lovers

Am G

And the broken street lights

F C

'Cause I've been on the road one day too long

F C

Can't hear the record for another sad song

F C

Look at all these faces can't all be wrong

That's a lot of my heart out there

When you can't keep your pretty mouth from saying

I wanna go home

Am F C Dm F Am G

(x2)
