[Verse]
G    A7                           
They come from every state to find
     A7                              
Some dreams were meant to be declined
G        A7                           
Tell the man what did you have in mind
G             Em        
What have you come to do
G          A7             
No turning water into wine
Em          A7                      
No learning while you're in the line
G             Am                
I'll take you to the broken sign
G                            
You see these lights are blue
                Em                       
Come and get it lost it at the city limit
Am                                              Em
Say goodbye 'cause they will find a way to trim it
G         Am7                        
Everybody looking for a silly gimmick
G         Em                                   
Gotta get away can't take it for another minute
G            A7                 
This town is made of many things
                              A7    
Just look at what the current brings
   A7                      
So high it's only promising
Am             Em      F  
This place was made on you


[Chorus]
        C    G           Am    F
Tell me baby what's your story ■
          C        
Where you come from
G                     Dm           F 
And where you want to go this time aw
        C     G
Tell me lover ■
        G     
Are you lonely
F            C       G                           F 
The thing we need is never all that hard to find aw
        C    G                  
Tell me baby ■ what's your story
F            C        
Where do you come from
    G                 Dm           F 
And where you want to go this time aw
          C      G
You're so lovely ■
        Am    
Are you lonely
F  C                G                         Am
Or giving up on the innocence you left behind ■ 


[Verse]
Em Am                              
■  Some claim to have the fortitude
Am7           Am                
Too shrewd to blow the interlude
A7                           
Sustaining pain to set a mood
G           Em G      
Step out to be renewed
A7                           
I'll move you like a baritone
G      A7                        
Jungle brothers on the microphone
                     Am       
Getting over with an undertone
             Em           
It's time to turn to stone
Am                                                     
Chitty chitty baby when your nose is in the nittygritty
Am7                         
Life could be a little sweet
    Am7                          
But life could be a little shitty
       Am7                          
What a pity Boston and a Kansas City
Em                                                   
Lookin' for a hundred but you only ever found a fitty
G     Am                      
Three fingers in the honeycomb
    Am                        
You ring just like a xylophone
Am                       
Devoted to the chromosome
Em           G        F   
The day that you left home


[Chorus]
        C    G           F    
Tell me baby what's your story
          C        
Where you come from
    G                              F 
And where you want to go this time aw
        C     G
Tell me lover ■
        Am    
Are you lonely
F         C          G                           F 
The thing we need is never all that hard to find aw
        C    G           F    
Tell me baby what's your story
             C        
Where do you come from
    G              Dm              F 
And where you want to go this time aw
          C     
You're so lovely
G       Am     F
Are you lonely ■
          C         G                        
Or giving up on the innocence you left behind
