C                G
360, 5 left, I’m counting it to the day
    Dm                                             F
I’m thinking if I did everything I said, or if the year got the best of me
                C                                       G
One thing about time, it waits for nobody, you told me, isn’t that what they say
     Dm                                           F
Been batting ‘gainst it and getting nowhere, just racin’ got nothing to say to nobody
C                                           G
Little lady you better get in line, now I’m talking this to myself
       Dm                                               F
Better get in on down with the program, don’t sell your lot for an old broke dream 

they been sellin’ ya
     C                                      G
Free fallin like Tom Petty, waitin’ on this rodeo to haul
  Dm                                         F
I break my own rules, steal my way home, and guard still there like a beast


[Chorus]
            C  G
We race the globe
                    Dm F
The shakers and the fools
               C  G
We trouble you know
                        Dm                  F
You’ll find us where we fall, we chasing shadows
C                            G
And I can’t have it, have it any other way
Dm                           F
And I can’t have it, have it any other way
C                             G
I’m not gon’ have it, have it any other way
Dm                           F
And I can’t have it, have it any other way
C                       G
Always knew I’d be international
           Dm    F
No fear of flying
C                             G
Limousines, big people, their parties
              Dm     F
But I’m on an island
C
Watching through a window
    G                     Dm
The flashing light on the bed
     F
Neon sign goes red
         C
“You Are Here” it says
         G                         Dm   F
Well, at least someone knows where I am

C G Dm F x2


[Verse 2]
C                             G
Maybe I will get it wrong, no patience for myself
        Dm                             F
Selling years of ideas ‘til I’m old, a living on the shelf
        C                                  G
I won’t follow I’m taking the long way, my standards hold me up
         Dm                                F
Why they eating they idols up now why they eating they idols up, damnit
C                                 G
I give ‘em my heart in words will they remember me
     Dm                                  F
I’ll leave ‘em alone and time’ll want to smother what I say
  C                             G
I round another year and wonder did I go someplace
    Dm                                    F
I’m bucking this one down, this one right here won’t walk away


[Chorus]
            C  G
We race the globe
                    Dm F
The shakers and the fools
               C  G
We trouble you know
                        Dm                  F
You’ll find us where we fall, we chasing shadows
C                            G
And I can’t have it, have it any other way
Dm                           F
And I can’t have it, have it any other way
C                             G
I’m not gon’ have it, have it any other way
Dm                           F
And I can’t have it, have it any other way
C                       G
Always knew I’d be international
           Dm    F
No fear of flying
C                             G
Limousines, big people, their parties
              Dm     F
But I’m on an island
C
Watching through a window
    G                     Dm
The flashing light on the bed
     F
Neon sign goes red
         C
“You Are Here” it says
         G                         Dm   F
Well, at least someone knows where I am
         C
“You Are Here” it says
         G                         Dm   F
Well, at least someone knows where I am
