Intro: C  G  C  G 


A long time ago it was just a game 

A masquerade where you give up your name 
         C 
And then lose your way back home 
          G          C 
Vibrating snowmaker 
             G 
Will it ever snow in Waco 
           D         Em        D         C 
Plants and trees and flesh and blood and bone 
G                                 D 
Statues of the ancestors nobody's known 


         C         G 
All those tangible things 
         C          G 
All these breakable things 
            D    Em       G      C 
Strip them away, only the love remains 


          F                         G 
Well, I'm setting my sights for the things that don't break 
  Em                               D  G     C 
A place that won't change like the weather 
          G        C 
Victim of gravity 
                G 
Oh, how I would happily 
        D       Em             D         C 
Give my life to something that lasted forever 


                   G 
Not those tangible things 
     C          G 
Those breakable things 
            D    Em       G      C 
Strip them away, only the love remains 


              G 
Oh oh, these  ?  that shakedown  

Where dreams live or die 

You can plough it and sow it 

You never will hold it 
      C 
Still everyone gives it a try 


            G 
Bikers from Waco 
   C              G 
Wa-ave through my window 
          D          Em            D         C 
Jeans and braids and girls holding on from behind 
G                                              D 
Searching for something lost in the shadows of mind 


           C         G 
Lost in the tangible things 
     C          G 
Those breakable things 
            D    Em       G      C 
Strip them away, only the love remains 


  G 
A long time ago it was just a game 

A masquerade where you give up your name 
         C 
And then lose your way back home 
          G          C 
Vibrating snowmaker 
             G 
Will it ever snow in Waco 
           D         Em        D         C 
Plants and trees and flesh and blood and bone
