INTRO: C  F  C
     F          C      F           C
It's half price off on last year's models
  F        C       F        C
A geeseful sky and roads of potholes
    F       C        F       C
The town is lean and getting leaner
      F    C        F      C             G
There is a rank and file demeanour
        C                  F      C
There's countless souls in unkind places
F
Wearing fixed and angry faces
  C
I tell myself I don't belong
    F
But I am a ghost in this prayer gone wrong
C                 G
Prayer gone wrong
                  F
Prayer gone wrong
                  G  Am  C  G
Prayer gone wrong
          F         C       F          C
There's a new restaurant, a new coffee shop
   F
It seems this street is looking up
  C              F           C
A new sign says, there's "No Smoking"
      F                                C       G
"No Shirt, No Service" and "Spanish Spoken"
     C
This town was built by steel blue collars
   F
It now competes for the tourist dollars
C
Love may make the world go round
   F
But like gravity here, still money bound
      C           G
We're money bound
             F
Money bound
              G  Am  C  G
Money bound
        C
There's talk show hosts and wartime markers
F
Ways of thinking, that force the darkness
    C
Bus stations have sad reputations
     F                         C       G    F   C
Coin laundry, pawnshop conversations
Each year time this, I hit this mood
     F
It's cabin fever or the mortal groove
  C
Before the spring, before winter's done
     F
When something's lost or just hasn't come
   C           G
It hasn't come
            F
Hasn't come
              G  Am   G    F   C
Hasn't come
