Em            D              C
 I once spoke to a meter maid 
Em            D              C
 She said she liked the work but not the pay 
Em            D              C       Em       D        F
 Writing tickets while you run away…Afraid

Em            D              C
 Said hey to a polar bear 
Em            D              C
 Said he liked it here but not over there 
Em            D              C
 That’s what its like inside a dragon’s lair 
     Em     G       Am
The ice is fading back

Em                                      G
Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo 
G                      C
You can show him everything you know
C              (Am)           C
He still gonna build it out of snow 
Em                                     G
gonna take my long division down to Mexico 
C
I can divide …all night

Em D C x3
Em D F

Em     D           C
  Said hey to an astronaut 
Em          D            C
  Said he wishes he could pick his spot 
Em            D        C
  Said he likes to go out a lot
     Em     G    Am
and not quite make it back

Em                                      G
Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo 
G                      C
You can show him everything you know
C              (Am)           C
He still gonna build it out of snow  
Em                                         G
I’m gonna take my ticket and kick it down in Mexico 
C
I’m gonna fly, all night

(Not as sure about the chords here.)
C      Em           G
(Been around the world,)Been around the world and I’ve seen
C      Em           G 
(Enough to know what I mean) Don't you know what I mean
C      Em           G
(this ticking in my mind) Got this ticking in my mind
F C
And its about time

Em         D           C
Set the record with Joan of arc
Em         D           C 
She knew her destiny before the spark
Em         D           C              Em   D   F
She got the orders and she played her part

Em                                      G
Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo 
G                      C
You can show him everything you know
C               (Am)           C
He still gonna build it out of snow
Em                                               G 
I’m gonna stand with my feet deeply rooted to the ground below 
C
I can survive 
All night…
Yeah!


The guitar solo is pretty easy so I'll just add it here. If you don't want to play the solo just play the 
chorus chords.
