The Ballad Of Oregon

E
Of all the things that please you
C#m E
You'd have thought I'd found a way
B
Though I probably shouldn't think of it
A E
I think most every day

I know you hear my voice sometimes
C#m
It's in a different way
B
I feel you in my sleep these nights
E
But lose you come the day-a-hey-hey...

Why don't we go to Oregon
C#m E
And chase some kind of dream?
B
The sky feels bigger in the country
A E
And I could use some room to breathe
E
Well, I've never felt so lonely
C#m E
As I do when you're with me
B
I'll be whistling about my secrets
A E
I'll get naked with the trees
B
I'll be breaking through the winter
A E
Catching glimpses through the seams

E
One more time, singing

Over the line
A
That I want something that just isn't mine
C#m A
But I do...
E
Get into whiskey

And I'll settle my mind
A
Oh, the way things were was treating everyone just fine
C#m A
And now for you...

E B A... C#m B A E
GUITAR G  O DEAL


E
Stretching all my thoughts
C#m E
About as far as they can go
B
Let me occupy my mind
A E
Let me pacify my soul

If I'm ever feeling crazy
C#m E
Find the words to let you know
B
Think I might stop my boyish stutter
A E
Think I'd learn to let you go
B
Think I'd make it through the winter
A E
Think I'd find some room to grow
C#m B A E
Oh, these are the debts we think we know
C#m B
To wanting something I am losing touch with
A E
Things I'll never live to hold
A
So I am sending out a message
B
I'll get through to you somehow
A
I'll surround myself with everything
B
That occupies me now
A
I get drunk and I get reckless
C#m B A
I get scared and I get stoned
C#m B A
Oh, I get scared when I'm alone
C#m B A
I guess I thought you would've known
C#m B A
I guess I figured it had shown

Still...
E
Everytime I leave you
B A E
It gets difficult to find my way back home
B
(There's got to be another choice,
A E
There's got to be an answer on your own)

Everytime I see you
B A E
It gets difficult to leave these things alone

E B A
