Verse1
I [Dm]think about that day I [G]left him at a Greyhound station
[C]West of Sante Fe, we [A]were seventeen
but he was [Dm]sweet and it was true, still [G]I did what I had to [C]do
'Cuz [Am]I just knew
Summer [Dm]Sunday nights we'd [G]sink into our seats
Right as they [C]dimmed out all the lights
The [A]Technicolor world made out of [Dm]music and machine
It [G]called me to be on that [C]screen
And [Am]live inside its [A]sheen
Pre-chorus
[F]Without a nickel to my name
[G]Hopped a bus, here I came
[Am]Could be brave or just insane
We'll [Em]have to see
'Cuz [F]maybe in that sleepy town
He'll [G]sit one day, the lights are down
He'll [C]see my face and think of how he [E]used to know me
Chorus
[F]Behind these hills I'm [G]reaching for the [Am]heights
And [Dm]chasing all the [G]lights that [C]shine
[Am]And when they let you [G]down (it's another day of sun)
You'll [Am]get up off the [G]ground (it's another day of sun)
[Am]As morning rolls [G]around and it's another day of [C]sun [E]
Verse2
I [Dm]hear them everyday
The [G]rhythms in the canyons that will [C]never fade away
The [A]ballads in the ballrooms left by those [Dm]who came before
They [G]say we got to want it [C]more so I [Am]bang on every [A]door
Pre-chorus
And [F]even when the answer's no
Or [G]when my money's running low
The [Am]disc and mic and neon glow are [Em]all I need
And [F]some day as I sing the song
A [G]small-town kid will come along
That'll [C]be the thing to push him on [E]and he'll go
Chorus
[F]Behind these hills I'm [G]reaching for the [Am]heights
And [Dm]chasing all the [G]lights that [C]shine
[Am]And when they let you [G]down (it's another day of sun)
You'll [Am]get up off the [G]ground (it's another day of sun)
[Am]As morning rolls [G]around and it's another day of [C]sun [E]
