C Am F Dm G C


[Verse 1]
    C
The sunlight slipped right through the blinds I'd carefully pulled down
Am
Dragged me from my dreamin' and I woke up on the ground
    F                                 Dm
The phone was ringing by my head just like I knew it would
G                            C
News from Colorado's never good


[Verse 2]
   C
My brother stole another car, they're holdin' him downtown
Am
Sister's tellin' everyone he's in the army now
F                              Dm
Mama only says the things that Daddy says she should
G                            C
News from Colorado's never good


[Violin Solo]
C Am F Dm G C


[Bridge]
F
How'd I get so far away
 G
Seems like only yesterday
  C                                 F
I took my first few steps out on my own
F
Lookin' in the mirror now
  Dm
I see a thousand miles and somehow
G
Colorado doesn't feel like home


[Verse 3]
C
Ain't no way to go back even if I wanted to
     Am
It'd only be a waste of time and there's nothing I can do
F                                  Dm
Breaks my heart but somehow I have always understood
G                            C
News from Colorado's never good


[Outro]
C                  Am

Am                 F
