Here's the town we live in
A         Em        D       A    
This is how the land lays out
             B
I bought a map

Ooooo,   So I could find my way around,  way around


B                      G
Taped the map on the wall
Em       D    Em   A
Studied every avenue
B                G

B                    G
We worked out a system
Em                    A    C#  D*  A
When one of us would leave
B                  G
A thumbtack stuck showing 
Em           A       C#  E*
Where we were going



B                G
All the time, you wore a hole
      Em              A        D     A
The same place tacked over and over
B            G            Em  
And I never go there
    A         D
I never go there

C#   	                    Em     B
But through that hole, you see 
C#               Em      A       B          G
My faith in you …        boring deeper and deeper 
A        D      A
Finally through that wall

Map began to rip apart
  Em              C#     Em      D 
I watched it falling to            the floor
B            G
I didn't bother 
Em              A      D      A
moving my thumbtack any more
