Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C C/B Am C7/G
F Bb/F F
G G7
C (walk down bass)
[Verse 1]
C C/B
You can always see the ceiling
Am C7/G F Bb/F F
With the city looking in your bedroom window
G
And looked upon as such
G7 C F/C C
I memorized the plaster until 3:00
C C/B
‘Cause memorizing mud
Am C7/G F Bb/F F
Beats memorizing someone else’s heartache
G
So if you’ve been out to the grassland
G7 C F/C C
You’ll know just what my city eyes have seen
[Chorus]
F
My head is splitting
D7
My heart is gasping
C F/C C
And now you’re asking:
F
“I know you’re leaving
D7
Can’t stop you dreaming
G G7
But why Nebraska?”
[Verse 2]
C C/B
Well you’d think that I was dying
Am C7/G F Bb/F F
But new wounds seem to bleed the truest ink
G G7
And I’ll tell you, after thirteen years of trying:
C F/C C
It won’t come out the way you think
C C/B Am
Atlantic drenched in irony and sunlight
C7/G F Bb/F F
’m transported to those plains
G
Where the trains stretch on forever
G7 C F/C C
And no matter how far you run, it looks the same
[Chorus]
C7 F
My head is spinning
D7
My heart is gasping
C F/C C
And now you’re asking:
C7 F
“I know you’re leaving
D7
Can’t stop you dreaming
G G7
of wild Nebraska”
[Bridge]
Dm E7
I’m working now all over Hell’s half acre
Am D
And window seats may have the better view
Dm E7
My midnight hour musings notwithstanding
F Gsus4 G7
I wish that I could just stay here and look at you
[Chorus]
F
My head is spinning
D7
My heart is gasping
C F/C C
And now you’re asking:
C7 F
“I know I'm leaving
D7
so why do I keep dreaming
G G7
of damn Nebraska”
[Outro]
C C/B
You can always see the ceiling
Am C7/G F Bb/F F
With the city looking in your bedroom window
G
That luminescent gaze
G7
I hope it never looks away
F G C
So I can see you one more time before I go
