Verse 1
D
I've never had a way
Em
with women
C
G
But the hills of Iowa make
D
G
me wish that I could
And I've never found
D
Em
a way to say I love you
C
G
But if the chance came by,
D
G
oh, I, I would
Em
But way back where I come from,
C
G
we never mean to bother
Am
We don't like to make our passions
D
other people's concern
G
D
And we walk in the world
Em
of safe people
C
G
And at night, we walk into
D
G
our houses and burn

Verse 3
D
Em
How I long to fall just a little bit
C
G
To dance out of the lines
D
G
and stray from the light
D
Em
But I fear that to fall in love with you
C
G
Is to fall from a great and
D
G
gruesome height
So you know,
Em
C
I asked a friend about it on a bad day
Am
Her husband had just left her
D
She sat down on the chair he'd left behind,
G
she said
D
Em
"What is love? Where did it get me?
C
G
Whoever thought of love
D
G
is no friend of mine"

Verse 5
G
D
Em
Once I had everything, I gave it up
C
G
For the shoulder of your driveway and
D
G
the words I've never felt
And so for you,
D
Em
I came this far across the tracks
C
G
D
Ten miles above the limit and with no
G
seatbelt, and I'd do it again
Em
For tonight, I went running through
C
G
the screen doors of discretion
Am
For I woke up from a nightmare that I
D
C
could not stand to see
You were a-wandering out
G
Em
out on the hills of Iowa
C
Am
D
And you were not thinking of me
G
D
Em
C
G
D
Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
G
I, I, Iowa
D
Iowa, oh, ooh, oh Iowa,
