EEsus/AEEsusE
Who doesn't know what I'm talking About
EEsus/AEEsusE
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
AEEsusE
To find a dream and a life of their own
ABA place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
EEsus/AEEsusE
Many precede and many will follow
EEsus/AEEsusEA young girl's dream no longer hollow
AEEsusE
It takes the shape of a place out West
ABBsusB
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
EF#mAB
She needs wide ppen spaces
EF#mAB
Room to make her big mistakes
EF#mAB
She needs n-ew faces
EF#mAB
She knows high stakes
EEsus/AEEsusE
She travelled this road as a child
Esus/AEEsusE
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired
AEEsusE
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
ABBsusB
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test
EF#mAB
She needs wide open spaces
EF#mAB
Room to make her big mistakes
EF#mAB
She needs n-ew faces
E
She knows high stakes
F#mAB
She knows the high stakes
solo
EEsus/AEEsusE
As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check The Oil!"
Esus/AEEsusE
Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm Leaving My Girl"
AEEsusE
She says, it didn't seem like that long ago
ABBsusB
When she stood there and let her own folks know
EF#mAB
She needs wide open spaces
EF#mAB
Room to make her big mistakes
EF#mAB
She needs n-ew faces
E
She knows high stakes
F#mAB
She knows the high stakes
