Riff - Em - A4/E - Em

::Intro::
Em - A4/E - Em
Em - A4/E - Em

:Verse #1::
Em   A4/E
Ran out of time
               Em
running my mouth
Em  A4/E 
Ran up a tab and
             Em
all the way from
A7/G
Kalamazoo

A4  A  B4  B   Gadd2
On my way back home

A4  A  B4  B   Gadd2
I was surely stoned,

B7                             Cm7
   now I'm sober in my yard
G
Can believe I was there?
B
Can believe I've been anywhere else?

::Riff::
Em - A4/E - Em
Em - A4/E - Em

                 G
But there was a time
    D/F#
I almost forgot
Em7                   D
we had been drifting all

the way from
F#m7
Kalamazoo, and I said that
G
I loved you too

Bm7      G        F#
All the way back home

::Riff::
Em - A4/E - Em
Em - A4/E - Em

::Verse #2::
Em               A4/E 
There's an old joke
                   Em
I just made up
Em            A4/E 
How many of me
              Em
would it take to
A74/G
screw up your life?

A4  A  B4  B  Gadd2
One to settle down,
A4  A  B4  B  Gadd2
one to turn you around

                      B7     Cm7
Now I'm sober in my yard
G7M
I would say you had to be there,

G7M
I forget that you're
B7
still there

Cm7
Cm7                   G7M
Seems like you'd be frozen,

G7M
frozen there in time
G7M
Waving your goodbyes


G7M        Em
Up to the sky

::Jam::

Em - A - Em - D - C
Em - D - C - Em

::Interlude::
Em - A4/E - Em

                   G
You place on the map
      D/F#
has faded away
 Em7
Used to be lost in
D
more than one way
F#m7
Kalamazoo, don't you know that
Gm9
I've been there too
                           F#m7
and it'd put your mind more at ease
                              G
If you'd say these words of release
Bm7     Gm9       F#
All the way back home
