G Bm F Am
i asked you for a ride; i was lonely
C Em G D
and hoping to see you before i left town
G Bm F
you said "i'm sorry, i'd like to
Am C Em G D
if only i had had the time; maybe next time around"
C D C D
and i walked for miles and carried my bags
C D C D
on streets with no sidewalks in search of a ride
C D C D
it was me and a baby ruth, a chewy chunk of chocolate truth
C D Am G Bm F Am
and here from the bus i would like to say thanks
G Bm F Am
thank you
i had imagined a breakfast of coffee and muffins
maybe some cinnamon toast
and if i believed i would gain your attendance
i could have provided the holy host
i walked for miles in search of a ride
on streets with no sidewalks and carried my bags
it was me and a baby ruth, a chewy chunk of chocolate truth
and here from the bus i would like to say thanks
thank you
thanks a lot
thank you not
two seats behind me, reclining
an angel is peering at me now from under a book
she catches me staring and smiles to the window
again i'm in love and with only a look
F(2) C(2) A
and it must be, it's true, i am free
F(2) C(2) A
and last night I burned; you know who spoke to me
F(2) C(2) A
say "welcome the solitude, it's your family tree"
[12th fret harmonics] F(2) F(3)
and you would have been only a heaven
C D C D C D D
G Bm F Am
at noon i will fly to my city, my prison
and you will be forever gone from my life
and soon i'll deny any lingering vision
of me in some catalogue and you as my wife
'cause i walked for miles in search of a ride
on streets with no sidewalks and steel muddy banks
it was me and a baby ruth, a chewy chunk of chocolate truth
and here from the bus, i'd just like to say thanks
thank you
G Bm
i was walking down the road, carrying in a heavy load
F Am
feeling and believing that i might have been a prince toad
G Bm F Am C D C D C D G
