D
You never learn to tell the difference between
C                                Bm
The probable projections and the best parts of the dream
A#                                                     F
The fragments that stick with you, the ones you really feel           
                 D
Those parts aren't real

                D               G
But high in the cold Midwestern air
D
They shimmer before us there
G
Almost out of reach but not quite
Bm
Stay up thinking about it all night
          A
Waited so long for days like these
G
I'm tired of living on my knees

D                                             G
Pull your hair back tight, head right for the extraction point
    F#m                    Bm                 E    G  A  D
And if you don't hear from me let them all go free

G   D   C   Bm  A# F   D

D
I'm on the Kennedy Expressway at dawn
C
Don't know where we got this car from
Bm
I'm driving with the fog lights on
A#                                                       F
The angles you don't plan for, the things you might have missed
             D
Those things exist

              D             G
But under the waxing winter sun
D
I feel like we're almost gone
            G
Just pick a lane and drive right through
Bm
Headed off to freedom with you
              A
Dreams of the future up in the front of my mind
G
Leave a couple dozen bodies behind

          D                                   G
Pull your hair back tight, head right for the extraction point
    F#m                    Bm                 E    G  A  D
And if you don't hear from me let them all go free

G  D  G  D
