F G C
Get your sweets from the candy man
F G C
Get your truth from the shelf

Don't buy into the fairy tale
F G Am
Just be good to yourself
F G C
'Cause you know that I love you, girl
F G C
You're my way out of hell

But I've just one more song to sing
F G Am Em
One more story to tell

[Verse 2]
F G C
When I'm tired of the bright lights
F G C
When I'm tired of the wine

I'll go down to New Mexico
F G Am
To the depths of the mind

When I'm forty years older
F G C
When I'm wrinkled and wise
F G C
I will trade all my liberty
F G Am Em
For that look in your eyes
[Bridge]

Reason gonna blind you

Cripple and confine you

Listen as you pull hard breaks

Take a trip to America

Let the wind blow right through your hair

We'll buy beer and some hope to share

Every day

We punish the child

For flying too high

For rushing like the wind
