Somewhere Else To Be chords by The Handsome Family

Somewhere Else to Be
From the album Last Days of Wonder

[Intro]

E


[Verse]

E
I didn't wrap my head in roses, I didn't run screaming down the street
      Am
I didn't drive off jagged cliffs
  C        E
or dive in roaring seas

E
I broke no cage door open, I set no horses free
       Am
The day the girl at the drive-thru window
C         E
Softly smiled at me


[Pre-Chorus]

B
Actually I did nothing
    A           E
as she handed me a large iced tea
  B
an extra packet of ketchup
     A      E
a small bag of onion rings


[Chorus]

     C#m       F#
I didn't even smile back at her
    A         E
I just pulled into the street
C#m           F#
Searching my rear view mirror
  A         E
To catch her eyes on me
          B
'Cause there were cars behind me
    A         E
and I had somewhere else to be


[Solo]

E Am C E


[Verse]

E
Down the street I saw an old man eating as he drove
 Am
running over empty cans
 C      E
lying in the road

E
But the billboards near the highway were full of singing birds
       Am
and all the trees were blooming green
     C         E
in their little squares of dirt


[Chorus]

   C#m          F#
Every dog chained in every yard
   A      E
was howling with me
       C#m       F#
But I didn't even smile back at her
    A         E
I just pulled into the street
          B
'Cause there were cars behind me
    A           E
and I had somewhere else to be


[Outro]
