Am The boy looks high he looks higher than the sky You can see it in his eyes just watch as he tries Dm The city never lets you go so he never tries The city never lets you go so you never try Am Speaking on the bread box: "Is this california?" His path was on the parks running, gonna tip away(?) Dm The city was a shotgun ending in sunshine The sunshine never ends so we never try Am Well we dug a hole and filled it up with other holes Found us other holes Dm Yeah, we found a hole and and hid in all our hungry men C G Dm If it takes us sixty years I... Am The boy looks high he looks higher than the sky You can see it in his eyes just watch how he cries Dm The path was on a straight line church street to houston Houston to the butte coming straight back to houston Am Well we dug a hole and filled it up with other holes in these other holes Dm We found a hole and buried all those hungry men oh our hungry men Am If it takes us sixty years, if it takes us sixty years C G Dm Am C If it takes us sixty years, I'll dig a hole and find that fire G Dm Am If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole Am Dm Am When we found that hole we found there were some other holes and we climbed inside Dm Then we climbed back out we left alone the hungry men oh the hungry men C G Dm Am C If it takes us sixty years, I'll dig a hole and find that fire G Dm Am If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole Am He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man the straight man Dm He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man Am He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man the straight man Dm He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man the straight man Am The boy looks high he looks higher than the sky (If it takes us sixty years) Dm The city never lets you grow so he never tries The city never lets you go so you never tries Am (If it takes us sixty years) Filled it up with other holes in these other holes Dm (If it takes us sixty years I) Buried all our hungry men Am The boy looks high the boy looks high the boy looks high the boy looks high Dm The boy looks high the boy looks high the boy looks high the boy looks high Am The boy looks high the boy looks high C G Dm Am C If it takes us sixty years, I'll dig a hole and find that fire G Dm Am If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole Am He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man the straight man Dm He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man the straight man Am He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man the straight man Dm He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man the straight man Am He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man the straight man Dm He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man the straight man
