Em7 - X20033
C
I moved to Kansas City 'cause I loved you
CF
Was it really seven years ago
Dm
Probably my favorite memory of you
Em7G
Is kissin' at the bus stop in the snow
But the roses that we planted in our front yard
Are bloomin' now in someone else's vase
Thought I could stick around but it's just too hard
I need to find a different dream to chase
Chorus:
F
So with the Kansas City sunrise in my rearview
CGC
I'm headed west on 35 to Wichita
AmF
After wantin' so long to be near you
DmG
Freedom feels a little like free fall
F
But I've done all my cryin'
GCC/BAm
Now I'm out here flyin' down the road with my hand out in the wind
Dm
And the Kansas City sunrise
GG
Inspirin' me to start over again
C
Well it hit me hard wakin' up without you
CF
This mornin' in the dark before the dawn
Dm
I lay there for a long time thinkin' 'bout you
Em7G
Couldn't seem to move, much less move on
C
But then the light came stealin' through the window with the feelin'
C7F
That the city had swept its stages clean
Dm
And if this old town can do it, I knew I should get to it
Em7G
So I'm startin' out a brand new scene
ChorusChorus 2:
With the Kansas City sunrise in my rearview
I'm headed west on 35 to Wichita
The fact that I'm still breathin' makes it clear you
Weren't the reason I live after all
But I've done all my cryin', nNow I'm out here flyin' down the road
With my hand out in the wind
And the Kansas City sunrise
Inspirin' me to start over again
Yeah I'm startin' my new life by the light
Of the Kansas City sunrise
