D There's a girl waiting for me in Austin
A7 She knows I'm coming through today
She's G waiting to see if I'll stop by
Waits to Bm see what I A7 have to D say
D There's a strong wind blowing in Austin
A7 Strange for this time of year
So I G wonder if it's not a message of sorts
Bm Something that A7 I should D hear
A Bm message I'm A7 supposed to D hear
D My head says keep on blowing
My A7 heart says you're out of your mind
G Enoughs enough you're only just so tough
You need to Bm learn to A7 read the D signs
D Of a road that's going nowhere
Just A7 leading you around the bend
To where G another bend waits again
Just like Bm every A7 other D time
Just like Bm every A7 other D time
Instrumental:
D As a poet and a dreamer
Who A7 part-times as a fool
You G can't ignore the unexplored
You can't Bm live with what A7 might have D been
D Well, there's a might have been in Austin
And A7 though it hasn't happened yet
It's G more a question of when this time
And Bm less a A7 question D if
Yeah, it's Bm less a A7 question G if
Those Bm might have beens and A7 those then agains
Can G sure push and pull and can D tear you
And Bm hinting winds and A7 those hidden bends
Can G sure leave your compass a D mess
But if the Bm to and fro ever A7 let you go
The G shock would D/F# surely Em kill you
So you Bm just move on
Cause it's A7 all you've ever D known
Instrumental:
D There's a might have been in Austin
And A7 though it hasn't happened yet
It's G more a question of when this time
And Bm less a A7 question D if
It's Bm less a A7 question D if
It's Bm less a A7 question D if {G}{A7}{D}
