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
