[Verse]
I've been Emstanding here, Dwaiting for the bus
On a SC/Gaturday, lBaundry on my back
UltraEmviolet rays like I'm Dposing for a shot
In a C/Gmagazine, what the Bhell does it mean?
[Refrain]
EmI'm a travelling man Dstraight from the car
C/GI'm a thousand miles away froBm my number one fan
EmMy folks are getting tight, Dwon't let me out at night
C/GYou can't avoid the complications
BWhen there's no reason at allAm  D  
When the Glightning strikes we Emfly
I'll dC/Grink my beer, I'll wAmipe my tears
BSouthbound in the sky
[Chorus]
EmAnother crime, Danother C/Greason gets you B7every day
EmThe only time that you can tDalk
C/GYou ain't nothing to B7say

BDreaming of a girl from a Emfairytale
DChain around my neck
C/GA ride is all it takes Bbut pains get in the way
[Refrain]
