D G D

Colorado was so nice,

D G D

but I'm Minnesota's son

D G D

Even when the cold winds blow

A G

in the darkness and the light

D G D

And the young folks search for meaning here

D G D

and the old folks know there's none

D G D

Out your window you can see the world

A G

Babe it's turning, and it's gone

[Chorus]

D A G

And the stars at night,

why do they make you cry?

Don't you think that I'll be coming home?

D G D

Well it's not like Sunny, Monterrey

D G D

in all the Steinbeck books you read,

D G D

Where the hobos know the secrets and

A G

the law turns their head

D G D

We are as close to paradise

D G D

even though you might not hear it said,

D G D

And the Methodists all bring a dish to share

A G

with the ashes on their head

[Chorus]

G D A G

And when the sun's in the sky,

G D A G

we'll have a class outside,

G A

Why do you think that I can be so cold?

[Verse]

D G D

I'm not scared of much here anymore,

D G D

wait, friends, that was a lie

D G D

'Cause I'm scared to death of losing you,

D G

to be alone, high and dry

[Chorus]

G D A G

And I know you worry,

G D A G

about time and money,

G A

but don't you know those things, they come and go?
