A5 E5 F5 G5
ever since my childhood i've been scared i've been afraid
C5 G5 F5 D5
of being trapped by circumstance and staying in one place
A5 E5 F5 G5
so i always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored
C5 G5 F5 G5 A5 with bass G5 / G#5 A5
somewhere secret somewhere safe and somewhere close to the door
A5 E5 F5 G5
well ive travelled many countries ive washed my feet in many seas
C5 G5 F5 D5
ive drunk with drifters in vienna and with punks in old dc
A5 E5 F5 G5
and ive driven across deserts driven by the irony
C5 G5 F5 G5 A5 with bass G5 / G#5 A5
that only being shackled to the the road could ever i be free

I've felt old before my time but now i keep the age away
C5 G5 F5 D5
by burning up the miles and yeah by filling up my days
A5 E5 F5 G5
and the nights a thousand nights ive played and a thousand more to go
C5 G5 F5 G5 A5 with bass G5 / G#5 A5
before i take a breath and steal myself for the next one thousand shows
