Verse I
G^ C Em
Ah, the holes of highway bones are filled
Am F Fm
But the tolls of highway loans are billed
Dm C F Dm7
To the board of directors of boredom, here
C Em
So I slept outside the worried exit
Am F Fm
And hurried to avoid the decrepit
Dm C F Dm7
Hordes of fallen Lords, I cant afford em, dear
Verse II
C C7
But overwhelmed is a laughing word
F G
To say youve taken for granted stillness
Dm C F Dm7
On an ever-moving planet
C C7
Was the glaciers falling heard
F G
Was the crumbling porchs utter realness
Dm C F Fm
Made of ash or made of granite
Verse III
Am Em
Oh, Im so longing for my mamas kiss
Dm C
And scratching my old lifetimes back
F Fm
That simpleminded tenderness
C A7
Is a pity that my searches lack
Am Em
The graveyard breathes reality
Dm C
But realitys blurred outside my gates
F Fm
No matter if I hesitate,
Chorus
C B/C
The foggy lilac windows come
Cm7 G Dm7 F/D
And dumb my number one ambition...
C
And its too much repitition
Cycle through the verse chords regularly: Some added licks he does.

Verse IV
C Em
The south was knee-deep in the weeds
Am F Fm
And I was in a plank-wood parlor
Dm C F Dm7
Every flame from every mouth was only worth a dime
C Em
Feeling easier to move than shifting reeds
Am F Fm
I was wearing my times on my collar
Dm C F Dm7
But my colors dont get bright in seasons time
Verse V
C C7
Your biggest grid did shrink and sink
F G
In one nights walk of blindness
Dm C F Dm7
To foreign sites where bright lights find you out
C C7
When evolution is extinct
F G
And lurking is a fossils kindness
Dm C F Fm
And theres no one left under our sun to sign you out
Verse VI
Am Em
And the piano strings are damp and deep
Dm C
And the honky-tonk is breaking free
F Fm
And the second-grader that you keep
C A7
Beneath your skin is next to me
Am Em
Ah, who likes, who plays these games
Dm C
And who is clutching to the reins
F Fm
Cause I scurried open plains
Chorus II
C B/C
And the foggy lilac windows come
Cm7 G Dm7 F/D
And dumb my number one ambition...
C
And it's too much competition

Verse VII - Listen to the song to hear how to play this verse
C
And that bleached canal was rare
B/C
And Ma was there
Am G Dm7
And no one dared to care (about tomorrow)
C
The road is bare
B/C
I go nowhere
Am G Dm7
And all the joy that I'm aware (is food for sorrow)
C B/C
The loft upstairs is unprepared
Am G Dm7
The billboard fields are stoned in pairs
C B/C
The gravel layers and river dares
Am G Dm7
And the air is very weary
(end with a verse)
