    C - D - C - D

 

    C                                                                  - D

1.     Another pleasant day in the countryside 

C                                                                   - D

    has ended up in tears on a stormy night,

C                                                               D              G              C

    ’cause you can’t follow my directions home, but don’t stop now.

 

    Em                                                                      - D

2.       God knows where the satellites’ taking us,

Em                                                            - D

    we can’t tell what is right in front of us,

              C                      D

    but I hang on every word.

 

  G               C            G              C

Don’t stop now, no, don’t stop now !

                Am                       C

Give me something I can write about !

 

     Em                                                                     - D

3.       You get fooled by the lightning every time,

Em                                                      - D

    see the after-image of my outline,

                    C                              D

    then you turn the wrong way round.

 

   G              C            G              C

Don’t stop now, no, don’t stop now !

                Am                       C

Give me something I can write about !

                Am                     C

Give me something I can cry about.

 

    Em                                                                    - G

+        In a church house ten miles out of town,

 

    is the devil going to track me down ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Em                                                                          - G

    Then you’ll travel through a tunnel in the trees,

 

    just remember that’s how you get to me,

F#                                                     - F#                                      D

    there’s no number on the house,        the birds are headed south.

                                              C                              D 

    Sometimes you’ll have to turn the wrong way round,

                                            C                          D

    sometimes you get too close to nowhere now.

 

    G    C

+      Restless, hopeful in silence I wait

G                                                                           C

    with a blank piece of paper on the top of my head,

                               Am                       C

    and all I want is something I can write about,

                        Am                     C

    all I want is something I can cry about.

       C     D     - Em

    Ooh, ooh.
