C                        Fmaj7       G                 C
Well they say that the mountains touch the sky
 Am               Fmaj7             G          C
Far away out west of the great divide
  C                               Fmaj7      G      C
And there's fertile fields and valleys down below
         Am                         Fmaj7  G       C
And I'm telling you brother we'd be fools not to go

(chorus)
Fmaj7                       C               G
And I've never been out west he said
Fmaj7                      C   G
It always seemed so far away
Em                  Fmaj7           C
And it's just a direction I guess
             Dm                                          C ,  Em ,  Fmaj7 , G , C
And I'm getting too old waiting around for someday||

Well the dreams they faded fast as the trucks rolled by
And it seemed we shared a longing deep inside
And I said you've got nothing to lose girl and we've got room for one more
She put her hand in mine and we left without locking the door

(chorus)
I've never been out west she said
It always seemed so far away
And it's just a direction I guess
And I'm getting too old waiting around for some day


Well the rain is relentless in Seattle
And when it came it was more than I could handle
And did I watch her fall or did she watch me let her go
I've got no one and nothing left to lose here anymore

And I'd never been out west she read
It always seemed so far away
And it's just a direction I guess
And I'm getting too old waiting around for some day
