Riff - E5 - A5 - E5

::Intro::
E5 - A5 - E5
E5 - A5 - E5

:Verse #1::
E5   A5
Ran out of time
               E5
running my mouth
E5  A5 
Ran up a tab and
             E5
all the way from
A5
Kalamazoo

A5  A5  B5  B5   Gadd2
On my way back home

A5  A5  B5  B5   Gadd2
I was surely stoned,

B5                             C5
   now I'm sober in my yard
G5
Can believe I was there?
B5
Can believe I've been anywhere else?

::Riff::
E5 - A5 - E5
E5 - A5 - E5

                 G5
But there was a time
    D5
I almost forgot
E5                   D5
we had been drifting all

the way from
F#5
Kalamazoo, and I said that
G5
I loved you too

B5      G5        F#5
All the way back home

::Riff::
E5 - A5 - E5
E5 - A5 - E5

::Verse #2::
E5               A5 
There's an old joke
                   E5
I just made up
E5            A5 
How many of me
              E5
would it take to
A5
screw up your life?

A5  A5  B5  B5  Gadd2
One to settle down,
A5  A5  B5  B5  Gadd2
one to turn you around

                      B5     C5
Now I'm sober in my yard
G5
I would say you had to be there,

G5
I forget that you're
B5
still there

C5
C5                   G5
Seems like you'd be frozen,

G5
frozen there in time
G5
Waving your goodbyes


G5        E5
Up to the sky

::Jam::

E5 - A5 - E5 - D5 - C5
E5 - D5 - C5 - E5

::Interlude::
E5 - A5 - E5

                   G5
You place on the map
      D5
has faded away
 E5
Used to be lost in
D5
more than one way
F#5
Kalamazoo, don't you know that
G5
I've been there too
                           F#5
and it'd put your mind more at ease
                              G5
If you'd say these words of release
B5     G5       F#5
All the way back home
