[Verse]
D G D
Colorado was so nice,
D G D
but I'm Minnesota's son
D G D
Even when the cold winds blow
A G
in the darkness and the light
D G D
And the young folks search for meaning here
D G D
and the old folks know there's none
D G D
Out your window you can see the world
A G
Babe it's turning, and it's gone
[Chorus]
D A G
G D A G
And the stars at night,
G D A G
why do they make you cry?
G A
Don't you think that I'll be coming home?
[Verse]
D G D
Well it's not like Sunny, Monterrey
D G D
in all the Steinbeck books you read,
D G D
Where the hobos know the secrets and
A G
the law turns their head
D G D
We are as close to paradise
D G D
even though you might not hear it said,
D G D
And the Methodists all bring a dish to share
A G
with the ashes on their head
[Chorus]
G D A G
And when the sun's in the sky,
G D A G
we'll have a class outside,
G A
Why do you think that I can be so cold?
[Verse]
D G D
I'm not scared of much here anymore,
D G D
wait, friends, that was a lie
D G D
'Cause I'm scared to death of losing you,
D G
to be alone, high and dry
[Chorus]
G D A G
And I know you worry,
G D A G
about time and money,
G A
but don't you know those things, they come and go?
