C5     F5 E5 D5 C5



Verse
  C5         E5 
Over the tracks,
   A5                F5
with a sack full of matches,
  C5                    F5     E5   D5   C5
I'm gonna burn all the letters I've wrote.
    C5          E5
Don't worry, darling,
 A5                    F5
I ain't brave enough to catch it
       C5         F5    E5   D5  C5
this fire that's licking my hopes.


Chorus
 F5                C5
Besides, if I went up
    F5                 C5                 
like a soaked rolling paper,
  F5                     C5                  
I'd still be fast-burning-out.
 F5             C5          F5         A5
And what's the use of a good, strong noose
 C5                       F5    E5    D5   C5
when your problem's too much hanging around?



Verse
 C5                  E5
So I walked back crashing,
 A5                  F5
my pockets full of ash in
   C5         F5    E5    D5    C5
the latesummer moon's holy glow.
   C5           E5             A5               F5
that loved me to death on the banks of every river,
    C5               F5    E5    D5     C5
where every breath in brought me home.


Chorus
   F5                      C5
'Cause if home's where hearts is
   F5                    C5       
beating like a bird's wing,
  F5                        C5       
then I've many homes and I should:
  F5                        C5     
said a man who wasn't homeless,
  C5                   A5
"I'm always just traveling
 C5               F5    E5    D5    C5
taking walks around my neighborhood."



       C5   E5    A5   F5    

       C5       F5   E5   D5   C5



Verse
 C5            E5
Wisdom: it comes
  A5             F5
but age don't unlock it.
  C5                          F5     E5    D5    C5
You've got to spend all the passion you've found.
 C5                        E5            
With more change in their heads
 A5                      F5
than in all of their pockets,

Outro
         C5       F5        A5        D5   
some can show you the way to slow down. (oooh...)
  C5                  F5  E5  D5  C5      
Sometimes we all need to slow down.
