===========================================================================

Intro:

| Riff I Dm | Riff I G |
| Riff II   |    %     | Riff II | Riff III |

Couplet:

Em (Riff II)
They come from every state you find
Em (Riff II)
Some dreams were made to be declined
Em (Riff II)
Tell the man what did you have in mind
Em (Riff III)
What have you come to do

No turning water into wine
No learning while you’re in the line
I’ll take you to the broken sign
You see these lights are blue

Em (Riff IV)
Come and get it, lost it in the city limits
Em (Riff IV)
Say goodbye cause day will find a way to trim it
Em (Riff IV)
Everybody looking for a silly gimmick
Em (Riff IV)                        (Riff V)
Gotta get away can’t take it for another minute

This town is made of many things
Just look at what the current brings
So high it’s only prophecy
This place was made on you

Refrein:

  F       C      G           Am
Tell me baby, what’s your story
   F        C             G              Dm
Where you come from and where you wanna go this time

Tell me lover, are you lonely
The thing we need is never all that hard to find
Tell me baby, what’s your story
Where you come from and where you wanna go this time
You’re so lovely, are you lonely
A giving up all the innocence you left behind

Solo:

| Riff II |   %   | Riff II |  Riff III |

Couplet:

Some claim to have the fortitude
To shoot and blow the interlude
Sustain and pay to set the mood
Step out to be re-newed
I’ll move you like a baritone
Jungle brothers on the microphone
Getting over with another tone
It’s time to turn this stone

Chilly chilly baby when your nose is in the nitty gritty
I can be a little sweet but I can be a little shitty
What a pity, Boston and a Kansas City
Looking for a friend but you only ever find a pity

Three fingers in the honeycomb
You ring just like a xylophone
Devoted to the chromosome
The day that you left home

Refrein:

Tell me baby, what’s your story
Where you come from and where you wanna go this time
Tell me lover, are you lonely
The thing we need is never all that hard to find
Tell me baby, what’s your story
Where you come from and where you wanna go this time
You’re so lovely, are you lonely
A giving up all the innocence you left behind, behind

Solo:

Refrein:

Tell me baby, what’s your story
Where you come from and where you wanna go this time
Tell me lover, are you lonely
The thing we need is never all that hard to find
Tell me baby, what’s your story
Where you come from and where you wanna go this time
You’re so lovely, are you lonely
A giving up all the innocence you left behind
