CHORUS:
N.C.          G    D          Em         D        C          D
She came from Fort Worth, but Fort Worth couldn't hold her
N.C.            G  D   Em       D     C     D
Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky
N.C.        G       D             G    D       Em
She's got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder
D     C           D                G
And it won't take long to say goodbye


N.C.    C            D    C               G ~
She was working at a diner just a week ago
       Em       D       C  G                     D 
When a man from Colorado smiled and said, "Hello"
       Em                    D               C    D      G
And he turned her head with stories about a cabin in the trees
~          Em                    C             G                      D
Where the wind can sing you love songs beneath snow-capped mountain peaks


N.C.      C                     D             C                G 
Now she's packed her faded blue jeans and her favourite cowboy boots
~        Em           C         G                  D
Left her apron at the diner for someone else to use
    Am                  D          C        D       G
One last look in the mirror at the girl she used to be
~        Em                  C           G                 D
Then the driver takes her ticket and she tries to fall asleep


CHORUS:
N.C.          G    D          Em         D        C          D
She came from Fort Worth, but Fort Worth couldn't hold her
                G  D   Em       D     C     D
Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky
N.C.        G       D             G    D       Em
She's got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder
D     C           D                G
And it won't take long to say goodbye


N.C. C                  D            C                      G 
And  somewhere in the long dark night the snow began to fall
~       Em                C                        G                    D
Oh, the world outside was sparkling white when she heard the driver call
          Em          D           C      D         G
"Everyone off now for Boulder and have a real nice day"
~      Em                 C           G                   D
He was waiting on the platform and he raised his hand to wave 
N.C.    Em                   D      C        D      G
And she offered no resistance as he took her to his cabin
~        Em              D                 C                D         
And that diner in the distance seemed just like it never happened


CHORUS:
              G    D          Em         D        C          D
She came from Fort Worth, but Fort Worth couldn't hold her
                G  D   Em       D     C     D
Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky
N.C.        G       D             G    D       Em
She's got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder
D     C           D                G  D  Em
And it won't take long to say goodbye
      D     G       D             G    D       Em
She's got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder
D     C           D                G  D  Em
And it won't take long to say goodbye
 D G    D   G 
Bye-bye
