Intro Am G C (x2) 

verse 1 
C 
I heard the walls had fallen down 
                 C/B          Am     G         C 
You were running out of town again,     my friend 
    C 
The call you’d always thought was best 
                      C/B               Am    G       C 
Was the very one that drove you way out West,   out West 


Pre-Chorus 
    C                           G 
But look at you now; this is no man you have been 
                  Am 
The point on your compass it leads you farther still 
        G                               F 
To the sea you have been sent 


                      C       G         F 
But I heard there's gold out West 
                      C             G       F 
In the sky where the sun makes its rest 
            C                        G                        F 
Clear your throat and take off your coat, you've always known best 



verse 2 
    C 
The Western Expansion is all that you have 
                                 C/B 
And a fire in your soul has been driving you mad 
  Am                     G                       C 
A life on the coast is a thing you can boast my friend 
    C 
The sea moves regardless the waves always stand 
                                     C/B 
And the fires on the coast keep your heart close at hand 
        Am                           G                            C 
And the stars in your eyes raise them high like the calls in the night 


Pre-Chorus 
C                                       G 
But look at you now; the past couldn't tell who you are 
                Am                             G                       F 
Your home may seem so far away to you, but man home is in your heart 


                      C       G         F 
But I heard there's gold out West 
                      C             G       F 
In the sky where the sun makes its rest 
            C                        G                        F     C   G 
Clear your throat and take off your coat, you've always known best

F 


                      C       G         F 
But I know there's gold out West 
                      C             G       F 
In the sky where the sun makes its rest 
            C                        G                        F 
Clear your throat and take off your coat, yeah you've always known best

Yeah you've always known best
