INTRO: G C G C

G                            C
She came to this world on a cold night 
G                           
Papa turned his head and said 
C
I don't believe she's mine 
G                              C
Single momma raised her in a place where 
                          Am
You can look but never touch 
                   Cadd9
Cos we don't have enough 
                        Em
Don't let your hopes get high 
                        D
Cos girls like you can't fly 

G                         D
Oh the long nights in the small room 
             Em
With the big dreams 
   Cadd9
Oh Indiana 
G            D    F
You're only dying here 
     C
And they don't understand you 
      G                    D
It's a tough road but you start slow 
      Em       Cadd9
And before you know it 
      F    C
You're not alone 
             Am            Em    D
Looking for a place called home anywhere 
Cadd9         G   C   G   C
    Oh Indiana 

G                          C
She tended bar in New York City (indiana)
G
People turned their heads and said 
C
Baby you sure look fine 
G                                C
They put her on TV and then they told her 
                 Am
You're gonna be a star 
              Cadd9
You can go so far 
                   Em
Let your hopes get high 
                       D
Cos girls like you can fly


G                         D
In the long nights in the small room 
             Em
With the big dreams 
   Cadd9
Oh Indiana 
G            D    F
You're only dying here 
     C
And they don't understand you 
      G                    D
It's a tough road but you start slow 
      Em       Cadd9
And before you know it 
      F    C
You're not alone 
             Am            Em    D
Looking for a place called home anywhere 
Cadd9         
    Oh Indiana 

Em
Those big dreams are flying machines 
Cadd9
And they'll take you 
Am                   Em D
Wherever you want to go 
Em                                    Cadd9
Oh and sometimes you find that what's real is inside 
          F        C
You don't have to go away 
    Am            D   Cadd9
To find your way home 
         G    C
Oh Indiana 

G                         C
She turned around and she stopped running 
G                            C
She saw that fame was never the answer to her prayers 
G                            C
She found that answer in her children 
                         Am
When she takes them to a place 
                    Cadd9
Where they can have so much 
                        Em
She lets their hopes get high 
           D
Cos anyone, anyone can fly 

G                         D
In the long nights in the small room 
             Em
With the big dreams 
   Cadd9
Oh Indiana 
G            D    F
You're only dying here 
     C
And they don't understand you 
      G                    D
It's a tough road but you start slow 
      Em       Cadd9
And before you know it 
      F    C
You're not alone 
             Am            Em    D
Looking for a place called home anywhere 
Cadd9       G    Cadd9    G  
    Oh Indiana.........Ohhhhhh
     Cadd9
she's going back 
        G   Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Oh oh oh...(etc)
