  			   A                         
We got off the plane in the cold, cold rain 
     E 
Lost track of the hour, lost track of the day 
        D                     Bm              E 
We were very far away from anywhere we'd been before 

   A 
We got on a bus and we went to the city 
    E 
Got off at a stop because we liked the name 
        D 
We were in for an adventure 
           Bm              E 
And that's all we knew for sure 
       D               F#m              E 
And we walked until we couldn't walk no more 
Bm                    E (single strum) 
Jet lag and sore feet led us to the door 
      A     
Of an expensive noisy bed 
               E 
Where we could rest our heavy heads 
   D 
We slept away the rest of the day 
    Bm            E 
And well into the night 
       A              F#m        Bm 
And we woke up with a hunger for life 
                E 
Well before the sun rised 

   A 
We didn't have money to ride the underground 
      E              
So we walked the miles and miles of this town 
     D 
When night fell like a rock we realized 
Bm                         E             A 
We were never gonna find a patch of open ground 

                        E 
And the rain was comin' down 
                             D 
And the trains were shuttin' down 
                          Bm 
We were worn out, wet and lost 
             E             A 
There was no shelter to be found 


A   E   Bm   E   A   E   A   F#m (single strum) 

D   E 

   A    
We spent over a week of our budget 
     E 
On a taxi and a bed 
    D 
And we made plans at night to escape 
     Bm        E 
This expensive wonderland 

         A      
We would set out for the wild 
         E 
We would see what was beyond 
         D 
We would sleep above the soil 
             Bm            E 
And we would travel by our thumbs 

    D                E 
And written above my hostel bed 
   A               F#m 
In black marker it said 
           D 
"There's a light 
       E          A 
And it never goes out" 


   A 
We didn't have a clue what we were doin' 
   E 
We didn't even know where we wanted to go 
         D 
The next day we took the tube all the way 
    Bm                E 
Out to the end of the line 

   A 
It took us five hours to find a place to stand 
   E 
We stuck out our thumbs, we raised our hands 
       D 
It was rainin' hard again 
    Bm             E 
But we were not surprised 

D               F#m 
No one wants to pick you up 
E 
When you're soakin' wet 
       Bm              D 
It was hard not havin' second thoughts 
      E (single strum) 
About goin' on this trip 

       D                   A 
And we ate the rest of our hostel bread 
        D          A 
Under a dark, damp underpass 
   D                   A 
We watched the cars go past 
    D               A 
The sun was sinking fast 
    D                 A 
But salvation came at last 
     D                A 
In a little blue hatchback 
    E                D              A 
And he took us a few miles down the road 

    A  
The day was almost over 
       E 
It was hard not to give in 
       D 
We had made it outta the city 
        Bm                                   E 
We were thinkin' about givin' up and settin' up our tent 
      A 
But a Jeep pulled over then 
       E 
And he told us to get in 
   D 
He said his name was Nick 
              Bm               E (single strum) 
Right away he felt just like a friend 

       D               E 
And he took us to some land 
           A              D 
Where some people live on buses 
  D           E 
Invited us to stay the night 
    A 
And we could not refuse 
   D                E 
We got a bus of our own 
       A    
And it had a soft, warm bed 
   D              E 
We built a little fire 
       A 
And we dried our soaking shoes 
       Bm             E 
And we slept, yeah we slept 
                 A 
Just like little babies 

    A 
The next day at Stonehenge 
              E 
We couldn't afford to get in 
   D 
We thought it would be free,  
           Bm                E 
We were surprised to see the fence 
     A 
This day would set the theme 
        E 
Of this trip for you and me 
         D 
We could pay to see the sights of Europe 
   Bm                 E 
Or we could choose to eat 

       D                    F#m 
And we pressed on to an old Roman city 
       E 
And we made it before night 
Bm                D 
We broke down and bought some fries 
     E (single strum) 
Just so we could get dry 

    D         A   D          A   D          A 
And curse the sky, curse the sky, curse the sky 
   E             A 
It rains all the time 

   A 
We found a spot to pitch our tent 
E 
It was our first night in it 
    D 
The rain soaked in, the ground was cold 
   Bm           E 
It sank into my bones 
       A           F#m             Bm 
And we decided that it was way too cold 
                      E 
To keep goin' the way we had planned to go 
    A                         E 
And that night we agreed that we would turn around 
     D                                  Bm             E 
We'd head for warmer ground, we'd start makin' our way south 

       D         E              A               D 
Oh you can't get lost if you've got no place to go 
    D                  E              A               D 
You can't take a wrong turn if you're not on your way home 
       Bm                D       E      A 
And we realized just how free we really were
