A             G                               F#
The scenery rides by just like floats lost in a parade
          F                     A
Where the palms and tumbleweeds sail
D/A            F                           A
Right past the homes they stretch and they fade
D/A          F             G               E
Rolling like movie credits far beneath the clear skies


[Chorus]
    A             Bm
How wary does the West carry?
D
So many sights, yeah, let's see the sights
A                 Bm
Slow prayers with no answers
F           C      E     A
Must go somewhere, fall away
        F#m            A
And the Wild West is a slow pan
        D           Bm
And the sunshine is fake
        F#m           A
And the ocean is just painted
     D            Bm
On a backdrop downtown


[Verse 2]
    A                 G                                F#m
The miniature sprawls blur from the set lights and the heat
          F                     A
Where the summer's path with charades
D/A             F                        A
Right where the sidewalks crack and they meet
D/A         F                G                E
Just like a sad, sad actress right before her last scene


[Chorus]
    A             Bm
How wary does the West carry?
D
So many sights, yeah, let's see the sights
A                 Bm
Slow prayers with no answers
F           C      E     A
Must go somewhere, fall away
        F#m            A
And the Wild West is a slow pan
        D           Bm
And the sunshine is fake
        F#m           A
And the ocean is just painted
     D            Bm        D
On a backdrop somewhere downtown
