VERSE 
F                      Bb/F F 
 I've been out on this road some 
                             Am7                Dm 
Can't help feeling I've been showing my friends around 
             Bb                   F/A 
I've seen it growing from next to nothing 
       Gm7   F/A            C7 
Into a giant eating up your town 

VERSE 
F                                Bb/F F 
Called up the tea leaves and the ta - rots 
                         Am7                     Dm 
Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands 
          Bb           F/A 
She saw a mountain and wild deer running 
  Gm7                  F/A    C7 
A crazy kid becoming a better man 

BRIDGE 
       Gm7 
But we stuck around for the fireworks 
        Bb C7 
Waiting to explode 
           A7             Dm 
Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed 
    Bb                   C 
And me on a yellow brick road 
             Gm7 
Pleasing the people some of the time 
           Bb     C7 
For better or for worse 
         A7                  Dm 
An urban soul in a fine silk suit 
                Bb        G/B      C7 
And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt 

Chorus 
                 F                      Dm 
And you can't go back and if you try it fails 
           Bb                  F/C  
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail 
                    F                    Dm 
A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale" 
                   Bb 
And that's what we did 
   G/B              F/C 
No lies at all just one more tale 
          C       A7/C#   Dm 
About the Captain and the Kid

VERSE 
F                     Bb/F     F 
We've been missing at times in action 
                      C                    Dm 
Can't imagine what he said he might do for you 
          Bb                 F/A 
The devil got to come to the party sometimes 
       Gm7          F/A         C7 
But he never got to wear our shoes 
         F           Bb/F       F 
Oh we've conjured up what we created 
                         C                       Dm 
Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels 
           Bb         F/A        
Now you're riding off into the sunset 
    Gm7                F/A              C7 
And I'm still spinning like a Catherine wheel 

BRIDGE 
       Gm7                   
But we stuck around for the battle 
        Bb    C7 
Waiting for a plan 
            A7                    Dm 
To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy 
    Bb               C7 
And me into a rocket man 
               Gm7                 
It pleases the people some of the time 
        Bb       C7 
Digging into our roots 
            A7                Dm 
But I got a brand new pair of shoes 
                Bb       G/B        C7 
And you're on a horse in old cowboy boots 

Chorus 
                 F                      Dm 
And you can't go back and if you try it fails 
           Bb                  F/C  
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail 
                    F                    Dm 
A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale" 
                   Bb 
And that's what we did 
   G/B              F/C 
No lies at all just one more tale 
          C       A7/C#   Dm 
About the Captain and the Kid 
   Dm

           Bb                  F/C  
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail 
                    F                    Dm 
A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale" 
                   Bb 
And that's what we did 
   G/B              F/C 
No lies at all just one more tale
