Verse

D   G    D
Colorado was so nice,
     D       G      D
but I'm Minnesota's son
      D       G          D
Even when the cold winds blow
        A               G
in the darkness and the light
         D           G         D
And the young folks search for meaning here
         D         G           D
and the old folks know there's none
         D       G        D
Out your window you can see the world
          A                 G
Babe it's turning, and it's gone

Chorus

D A G
G                        D A G
And the stars at night,
G                        D A G
why do they make you cry?
G                                   A
Don't you think that I'll be coming home?

Verse

 D                   G      D
Well it's not like Sunny, Monterrey
  D        G                D
in all the Steinbeck books you read,
D          G             D
Where the hobos know the secrets and
     A             G
the law turns their head
 D          G      D
We are as close to paradise
 D                G         D
even though you might not hear it said,
 D                  G           D
And the Methodists all bring a dish to share
          A               G
with the ashes on their head

Chorus

G                              D A G
And when the sun's in the sky,
G                           D A G
we'll have a class outside,
G                                 A
Why do you think that I can be so cold?

Verse

 D                  G           D
I'm not scared of much here anymore,
 D                  G      D
wait, friends, that was a lie
 D                    G               D
'Cause I'm scared to death of losing you,
        D              G
to be alone, high and dry

Chorus

G                     D A G
And I know you worry,
G                     D A G
about time and money,
G                                              A
but don't you know those things, they come and go?
