verse 1: First Girl (Start Strumming)
Dm
I think about that day
G
I left him at a Greyhound station
C
West of Santa Fé
A Dm
We were seventeen, but he was sweet and it was true
G C
Still I did what I had to do
Am
'Cause I just knew
Dm
Summer Sunday nights
G
We'd sink into our seats
C
Right as they dimmed out all the lights
A Dm
A Technicolor world made out of music and machine
G C
It called me to be on that screen
Am
And live inside each scene
Pre-Chorus 1: First Girl & First Man
F
Without a nickel to my name
G
Hopped a bus, here I came
Am
Could be brave or just insane
Em
We'll have to see
F
'Cause maybe in that sleepy town
G
He'll sit one day, the lights are down
C
He'll see my face and think of how he...
E
...used to know me
F
Climb these hills
G Am
I'm reaching for the heights
Dm G C
And chasing all the lights that shine
Am G
And when they let you down
Am G
You'll get up off the ground
Am G
'Cause morning rolls around
C E
And it's another day of sun
F-G-Am-Em (Mute)
verse 2: Young Man
Dm
I hear 'em ev'ry day
G
The rhythms in the canyons
C
That'll never fade away
A
The ballads in the barrooms
Dm
Left by those who came before
G C
They say "you gotta want it more"
Am
So I bang on ev'ry door
Pre-Chorus 2: Second Girl
F
And even when the answer's "no"
G
Or when my money's running low
Am
The dusty mic and neon glow
Em
Are all I need
F
And someday as I sing my song
G
A small-town kid'll come along
C E
That'll be the thing to push him on and go go
F
Climb these hills
G Am
I'm reaching for the heights
Dm G C
And chasing all the lights that shine
Am G
And when they let you down
Am G
You'll get up off the ground
Am G
'Cause morning rolls around
C E
And it's another day of sun
