G    D    G
[V1]
GOh, I met a man today, EmHe dreamt he was the sun.
He told me, “I won’t Crise again, Gso boy, you better rDun.”
GSo with hope in my Chand, EmI left my unkempt Dhome,
Gand found a bus to CReno, alongside a Dwillingness to Groam.
G   D   G
[Chorus]
CBut the birds flew south As I Emran off to the Gwest,
And the sun drove Con and laGid its soul to Drest.
CAnd from all the Gsky above me, tEmo the barren earth bDelow
GI watch the night turn to bClack, Until the Ddarkness says to Ggo.
G   D   G
[V2]
GI met a girl in Reno, SEmhe only sang the blues
She said, “you better Crisk it all GWhen you have nothing left to Dlose”
GSo with my wagers and my Cbets, EmI sat down for the Dgame
GI tried my best to Cturn the tides, But the Dresults remained the Gsame
G   D   G
[Chorus]
CBut the birds flew south As I Emran off to the Gwest,
And the sun drove Con and laGid its soul to Drest.
CAnd from all the Gsky above me, tEmo the barren earth bDelow
GI watch the night turn to bClack, Until the Ddarkness says to Ggo.
G   D   G
[V3]
GNow, honey don’t feel bad for me, EmOh, please don’t sympathiGze.
I must leave before tChe worst of it, That’s why I Gclose my worn-out Deyes.
GSo with cold blankets and the Cblues, EmI know my day is donDe,
GAnd when I go to slCeep tonight, I’ll Ddream I am the Gsun.
