Chords and lyrics for Another Travelin' Song by Bright Eyes (key of A).
Verse 1
Intro - A
Verse 1
[A]well I’m changing all my strings
I’m gonna write another travellin [D]song
[A]about all the billion highways
and the cities at the break of [E]dawn
well I guess the [A]best that I can do now
is pretend that I’ve done nothing [D]wrong
[E]and dream about a train that’s gonna
[D]take me back where I [A]belong
Verse 2
[A]now the ocean speaks and spits
and I can hear it from the [D]interstate
[A]and I’m screaming at my brother
on the cell phone, he is far[E] away
[A]and I’m sayin’ nothing in the past
or future ever will feel like [D]today
until we’re [E]parkin in an alley,
just [D]hopin that our shit is [A]safe
Chorus 1
so I go [D]back and forth [A]forever
all my [D]thoughts, they come in[A] pairs
well I [D]will I won’t I[F#m] doubt I don’t I’m [Bm]not surprised
But I [D]never feel quite [A]prepared
Verse 3
Now I’m [A]hunched over a typewriter
I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a [D]cave
And there’s a [A]word I can’t remember
and a feeling I can not [E]escape
And now my [A]ashtray’s overflowin
I’m still starin at a clean white [D]page
[E]And morning’s at my window
and she is [D]sending me to bed [A]again
Verse 4
[A]Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,
I dreamed a desert where the dead lay [D]down
I dreamed a [A]prostitute, a child
touching an old man in a fast food [E]crowd
Oh Yeah I [A]dreamt a ship was sinkin’,
there was people screamin’ all [D]around
And I [E]awoke to my alarm clock,
it was a [D]pop song, it was playin’ [A]loud
Chorus 2
So I will [D]find my fears and [A]face them
Or I will [D]cower like a [A]dog
I will [D]kick and scream or [F#m]kneel and plead I will [Bm]fight like hell
to [D]hide that I’ve given [A]up
