[Intro]
D    C
[Verse 1]
When we Emcome to the place where the Croad and the sky collGide,
Throw me Emover the edge and Clet my spirit Gglide.
They Dtold me I was gonna have to work for a living,
But Gall I want to do is rCide.
I don't Gcare where we're goin' from Dhere, honey, you deGcide.
[Verse 2]
Well, I Emspend my time at the Cbottom of a wishing Gwell,
And I can Emhear my dreams Csinging clear as a Gbell.
I used to Dknow where they ended and the world began,
But now it's Ggettin' hard to Ctell.
I could be Gjust around the corner from Dheaven or a mile from Ghell.
[Refrain]

[Intro]

D C

[Verse 1]

Em C G

When we come to the place where the road and the sky collide,

Em C G

Throw me over the edge and let my spirit glide.

They told me I was gonna have to work for a living,

G C

But all I want to do is ride.

G D G

I don't care where we're goin' from here, honey, you decide.

[Verse 2]

Em C G

Well, I spend my time at the bottom of a wishing well,

Em C G

And I can hear my dreams singing clear as a bell.

I used to know where they ended and the world began,

G C

But now it's gettin' hard to tell.

G D G

I could be just around the corner from heaven or a mile from hell.

[Refrain]

(walk up)

G A A#

B C

I'm just rollin' away from yesterday

G G A A#

Behind the wheel of a stolen Chevrolet.

B C

I'm gonna get a little higher,

D C

See if I can hotwire reality.
