verse 1: 
E                            Bm 
So you're drivin' away these miles 
        A                      E 
So far away from your southern home 
E                                    Bm 
Takin' your charms and dreams to the Golden State 
          A         E 
Make your way, seal your fate 


Chorus: 
                   E     B 
That's when you're gone away 
                           E 
Where no one will hear you cry 
            A   B 
When you're late 
                    E 
For that west Texas sky 


verse 2: 
E                                  Bm 
When you left home, I didn't think twice 
      A             E 
Oh, I knew, you had to roam 
E                                Bm 
I knew that life was getting you down 
                 A                        E 
You always feel alone when there's no one around 


Bridge: 

Fm                        Bm 
But who gets cut when the knife is dull? 
E            C#m              F 
And who gets lost when the map is full 
F               Bm 
Nobody wins and nobody loses 
E                 D 
Just a handful of sorrows 
    A   D      A 
And too many excuses 


verse 3: 
E                             Bm 
You wanted to walk beside the ocean 
A                    E 
Oh, and stand beside the sea 
E                             Bm 
And now you can't wait until tomorrow 
                   A 
There's so much to do 
               E 
And so much to see

For that west Texas sky

When you're late

For that west Texas sky

For that west Texas sky

For that west Texas sky
