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

No lies at all just one more tale
