Verse
G C G
I'm going to Chapel Hill, if you're looking
G C Em
I snuck out like a thief in the night
C Am7
I'm riding the backroads through endless oak trees
G D C
Going further and further from sight
G C G
I am the boy in the schoolhouse
G C Em
So alone in the lost countryside
C Am7

G D C
Oh, it may be a difficult ride
C G
Ooh... it ought to make it easier on you
C
Ooh... it ought to make it easier on you

Verse
G C G
People out here aren't like you
G C Em
Not that I want them to be
C Am7
They're raised drinking water so gentle and clear
G D C

G D C

G C G
I'm not like the boy you'd remember
G C Em
I'm relaxed and I'm satisfied
C Am7
I've come to terms with the object of failure
G D C
Setting past heartache aside
C G
Ooh... it ought to make it easier on you
C
Ooh... it ought to make it easier on you

G C G
I've gone to Chapel Hill, if they ask you
G C Em
Tell them I wish they were here
C Am7
It was not them that I tried to escape from
G D C
But I dreamed of a future unclear
G C G
And if anyone wishes to chase me
G C Em
It would probably do them no good
C Am7
Because the reason I'm here is the same reason that I
G D C
Was someone they never understood
C G
Ooh... it ought to make it easier on you
C G
Ooh... it ought to make it easier on you
C G
Ooh...
