Am G\B C G\B
Just like a broken marriage, when two people just don't care
Am G\B C
Like when the cupboard is empty or there's no food in the Frigidaire
G
I'm a page from the end of the story
F
No closer to my hope and glory
Dm Em F C\G G C F\C C F\C C C F\C C F\C C F\C C F\C C C F\C C F\C G\B
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
Am G\B C G\B
How come it gets so disturbing, when two ships pass in the storm
Am G\B C
Who knows how high the crow flies, who knows where this refugee was born
G
I'm a page from the end of the story
F
No closer to my hope and glory
Dm Em F C\G G C F\C C F\C C C F\C C F\C C F\C C F\C C C F\C C F\C
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
F C\E Dm C
And just for the sake of all these reasons
F C\E Dm C
Rains wash out the fires within
F Em E7\G# Am
Fires that help to keep you moving
Dm Em F C\G G C F\C C F\C C C F\C C F\C C F\C C F\C C C F\C C F\C G\B
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
Am G\B C
You don't deserve that treatment, I can't pretend I was that nice
G\B G\B C
I'm no E ticket ride to Disneyland, I'm no cushy first class flight
G
I'm a day behind your restless wings
F
You, you rather have the wealth of kings
Dm Em F C\G G C F\C C F\C C C F\C C F\C
Me, I'd rather be on the heels of the wind
(CHORUS)
C F\C C F\C C C F\C C F\C
Just a kick a____way, yeah
Dm Em F C\G G
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind.
(REPEAT, FADE)
