Riff 1 Get your sweets from the candy man Get your truth from the shelf Don't buy into the fairy tale Just be good to yourself 'Cause you know that I love you, girl You're my way out of hell But I've just one more song to sing One more story to tellF C Reason gonna blind you F C Cripple and confine you F C Em Listen as you pull hard breaks F C Take a trip to America F C Let the wind blow right through your hair F C We'll buy beer and some hope to share Em F Every day RefrãoVerse 2:
Riff 1 When I'm tired of the bright lights When I'm tired of the wine I'll go down to New Mexico To the depths of the mind When I'm forty years older When I'm wrinkled and wise I will trade all my liberty For that look in your eyeshide this tabTab - Riff 2 E|-------------| B|-1-----------| G|-2-----------| D|-2-----0--0--| A|-0-----2--3--| E|-------------|C Bb 'Cause freedom Am F Is no small thing C We punish the child Bb For flying too high Riff 2 For rushing like the windBridge:
