Verse
G                                                          C
Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn leaves
                          Am                                G
That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain
                                                     C
Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high, hard to steer
                       Am                    G
Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane
G                                       C
In search of some rest. In search of a break
                 Am                                  G
From a life of tests where something's always at stake

Where something's always so far
                      C
What about my broken car?
                       Am
What about my life so far?
            D
What about my dream?

What about,



Chorus

C           G
  What about everything?
Em             D
  What about aeroplanes?
C               G                    Em
  And what about ships that drank the sea?

What about...
C               G
  What about the moon and stars?
Em           D
  What about soldier battle scars
C            G               D
  And all the anger that they eat?
Em    D    G
I am not in need.



Verse 2
G
Get away and come with me.
                            C
Come away with me and we'll see
                       Am                      G
If I was right on that night, that a future was made
                                                  C
Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it clear
                                Am                         G
It's school, then work and then life that just sharpens the blade
                                                   C
I think about time for fun. I think about time for play
                         Am                G
Then I think about being done, with no resume

With no one left to blame
                       C
What about fortune and fame?
                         D
What about your love to obtain?

What about the ring?

What about,

Verse 3

G                                                        C
  Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some reason me
                           Am                               G
The hometown harbor lights bright, the sailboats clatter in vain
                                                   C
Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high on this pier
                         D
I find it hard to complain when compared with what about...

  The one that wakes you from your peace?
Em          D    G     D    Em     D     G
  Well, I am not, I am not, I am not in need
