NOTE: If you choose to strum rather than pick, 
try plucking the base string of each chord and
strum the 3 high strings.  This will replicate
a sound close to the picking.

Listen to the song for timing if you need to.

NO CAPO.

VERSE CHORDS: G, G/B, Em7, Cadd9, Cadd9*, Cadd9*
In the evening when the storefronts close 
I watch as everybody walks away 
But I want to stay

I stare down the empty streets aglow 
Wonder at the windows and homes 
Alone 

In the morning kids are off to school 
Yellow buses, all the rules remain
the same

Stay in line, be kind 
Wait your turn but try to win 
Be good, like you should 

CHORUS CHORDS: D, Em, Bm, G, D, Em, Bm, G
You gotta walk so far 
Lose who you are 
Fall apart
To get that brand new start 

VERSE:
When you meet a stranger down the road 
Say hello, but all the same 
Don't get too close

That's a lesson we've all been taught 
To protect what you've got 
And so you stay away

These roads are open and wide 
There's room for everyone to move
side by side 

So it's a shame, it's a pity 
In every town or city 
That we learn to walk in single file 

CHORUS:
You gotta walk so far 
Lose who you are 
Fall apart 
To get that brand new start

VERSE:
No one tells you how to grow 
They teach you everything but what you need to know
