All the happy couples on their way to New Or-leans
 
     D               D         G/B  D
Re-minding me of when we got a-long
 
        D               G/B           D7sus/A            D
They're only renting time and space to fill up with their dreams
 
    D                           D                   G/B  D
And dreams are what they'll have when they have gone
 
 
 
             D            G/B                D7sus/A     D
How could it be that I was born without a clue to carry on
 
    D                  D               G/B D
And still it is the same now I am older
 
                     G/B             D7sus/A           D
Armed with just a will and then this love for singing songs
 
    D                   D         G/B    D
And minding less and less if I am colder
 
 
 
      D               G/B           D             G/B
But I have this funny ache and it's burning in my chest
 
       D                   D              G/B  D
And it spreads just like a fire inside my body
 
      D                  G/B       D            G/B
Is it something God left out in my spirit or my flesh
 
           D               D               G/B    D
Would I be saved if I were brave and had a baby?
 
 
 
             D                     G/B
It was never clear what would come next
 
               D7sus/A             D
but that's the risk and that's the test
 
      D                 D           G/B    D
And you were the only one so far to follow
 
                   G/B                D7sus/A          D
And no one talks about when one might stop and need to rest
 
       D             D               D
Or how long you sit alone before you 
 
             D7sus/A              D               D
stop looking back It's like you're waiting for Godot 
 
             D               D              D
And then you pick your sorry ass up off the street and 
 
G/B   D  G/B  D  G/B  D
Go...
 
 
    D                G/B       D                G/B
And what the hell is this? Who made this bloody mess?
 
    D              D              G/B     D
And someone always answers like a martyr
 
      D                    G/B           D             G/B
Is it something you should know, did you never do your best
 
             D                 D               G/B         D
Would you be saved if you were brave and just tried harder
 
 
   D              G/B              D7sus/A        D
So now I ride the aught-one-thirty-five to New Orleans
 
  D             D                       G/B   D
I float a mile above life's toil and trouble
 
                  G/B                 D7sus/A        D
A thousand lonely lifetimes I still wait and then go on
 
  D             D              G/B     D  G/B  D  G/B  D  D
A clown to entertain the happy couples
