VERSE 1 (clean electric):
B                    E
Tired of seven hours a day (yeah)
F#                        E                     F#
Weekends that go too fast
B                               E
I set my sights for boardwalk streets
         F#                        B
and a sunset that will last
B                            E
I grabbed my coat and told my friends
F#                        E                     F#
that I was going away
B                                          E
just a few long miles and a few good smiles
    F#                     B
and I'll have my love today

(sung over tab)
Ooh, lie, lie, lie
Why do I look so hard?
Ooh, lie, lie, lie
Must I be so far?

VERSE 2 (clean electric):
B                                E
Intent on a life that is what I dream
F#                  E                   F#
I set out to be free
B                      E
Turned my cheek on my beliefs
         F#                       B
with whatever in front of me
B                       E
Sick of words like "trust" and "hope"
     F#                     E                   F#
and "hey man, you got to be good"
B                       E                        F#
But if I want I'll sit and stare all day
                          B
at the clouds like I wished I could

CHORUS

BRIDGE (distorted):
G#m                                     B
        And for just tonight
                         G#m
A place to rest my head
                        B
My eyes were heavy
                                        G#m
But I found no peace in this bed
                                  B
With the silence around
                        E
I felt so alone again
                                    F#
Well, I closed my eyes with lifted hands
                                 (E)
And I fell to my knees instead

VERSE 3 (clean electric):
B                          E
Tired of tears and a broken heart
    F#                  E               F#
And love that fades too fast
  B                       E
I set my sights for golden streets
        F#                       B
and a joy that will ever last

Lord, you've never ever been far
You've never ever been far
