Faultline Blues by Sam Roberts
GI come from the east, I come from the heart of the B#beast, of the Gbeast
Gwhere dreams are made in factories, where hearts pound with heavy hurried 
B#beats, hurried Gbeats
DI can’t stay here, can’t B#tow the line, I’m lBeaving for CPacific standard Gti- Di- - B#i -Gime
GNow I’m heading west, trying to get this heavy weight off my B#chest, off my Gchest
Gand the ones I love the best, know that 'til I reach the sunset I won’t B#rest, I won’t Grest
DLeft home on St. B#Valentine and Bheaded for CPacific standard Gti-Di-B#i-iGme
[interlude]
GNow I’m on the trail of Kerouac, it B#feels unbroken Gtoo, DGP died not far from here, he was 
Cwailing at the Gmoo-B#oo-oDon 
GTwenty-nine palms are just enough, one B#less would be too Gfew, you Dfind the diamond in
the rough and Cyou’re the morning Gde—B#e-eD-ew
GEven ticking clocks can ease your mind when you’re Bcounting on CPacific standard Gti-Di-iB#-i-i-Gime
GIn orange groves on storage streets I fB#ind a Gsteady mind, Dwandered with my feet in CPacific standard Gtime
GHuman consolations burning B#out before they Gshine, Djust to dance a little while, in 
CPacific standard Gti-B#i-i-Dime
Geven ticking clocks can B#ease your mind when you’re Bcounting on CPacific standard GtDimB#eG  
Dstuck between insane and sublime, you’re lB#iving on CPacific standard Gti-Di-B#i-iGme.
