              Capo on 2nd  
 
 
          G          Bm       Em  D              
If you hate the taste of wine  
                     G         Bm         Em  D 
Why do you drink it till you?re blind 
                  G               Bm            
And if you swear that there's 
      C                    D   
No truth and who cares  
                          Em   Em/Bb      D 
How come you say it like you're right 
                     G              Bm         Em   D   
Why are you scared to dream of God  
                G            Bm        Em D 
When it's salvation that you want 
               G             Bm                  
You see, stars that clear  
                  C           D              
Have been dead for years  
             Em  Em/Bb    D 
But the idea just lives on 
          G                Bm   Em   D         
In our wheels that roll around  
           G        Bm        Em D 
As we move over the ground 
             G       Bm                        C     D          
And all day it seems we've been in between  
    Em         Em/Bb  D  
A past and future town 
 
 
            Em                      D 
We are nowhere and it's now     x2 
              C                                    D 
In like a ten minute dream in the passenger seat 
                G               D       Em      Em7 
While the world was flying by 
                       D 
I haven't been gone very long  
 
But it seems like a lifetime 
     
G - Em x 4, then D 
 
Am                       D 
I been sleeping so strange at night 
Am                               D 
Side effects they don't advertise 
 
 
Am                        D 
I been sleeping so strange 
Am                         D 
With a head full of pesticide 
 
G - Bm - Em - D x 2 
 
             G             Bm          Em D            
I got no plans and too much time  
             G          Bm  Em D 
I feel to restless to unwind 
                  G        Bm             C            D          
I'm always lost in thought as I walk the block  
            Em     Em/Bb D 
To my favorite neon sign 
                 G           Bm          Em   D            
Where the waitress looks concerned 
             G        Bm    Em  D 
But she never says a word 
                      G           Bm            C       D    
Just turns the jukebox on and we hum along  
          Em     Em/Bb  D     
And I smile back at her 
              G                   Bm  Em D            
And my friend comes after work,  
                 G           Bm       Em D 
When the features starts to blur 
                            G           Bm          
She says: "These bars are filled  
        C               D   
with things that kill 
                    Em           Em/Bb        D  
By now you probably should have learned" 
                                  
 
Did you forget that yellow bird? 
 
How could you forget your yellow bird 
 
She took a small silver wreath  
 
And pinned it onto me,  
 
Said this one will bring you luck 
 
I don't know if it's true, but I keep it for good luck
