Am     G         C
Here I am on the run again
Am     G         C
Hopeful I can still win
Am     G         C
I press on and my wheels hum
Am     G         C
Taking me home again
Am     G         C
Taking me home again

Am     G         C
I have run here in triumph
Am     G         C
I've run here in retreat
Am     G         C
Took my first steps here thankfully
Am     G         C
and those days seem so sweet
Am     G         C
those days seem so sweet

F         C           G       C  
It's all different in so many ways
F       C      G     C
Changes hid in plain sight
F      C         F     C
Busted windows a dusty wind blows
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight

Am    G       C
As a child I was child like
Am    G       C
In my teens naive
Am    G       C
Now as manhood settles in
Am    G       C
I still want to believe
Am    G       C
I still want to believe

F         C           G       C 
It's all different in so many ways
F       C      G     C
Changes hid in plain sight
F       C      F     C
Strangers faces in my old places
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight

F         C           F       C 
A weathered awning a old dog yawning
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight

F         C           F       C 
A rundown beer joint Stop signs with no point
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight

Solo
Am    G       C
As the moon sheds it's shadow
Am    G       C
As a snake sheds it's skin
Am    G       C
Everything keeps right on changing
Am    G       C
Got to learn that again
Am    G       C
Got to learn that again

F         C           G       C  
It's all different in so many ways
F       C      G     C
Changes hid in plain sight
F      C         F     C
Mom's home place gone that just seems wrong
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight
F      C         F     C
Dad's chair empty that still hits me
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight
Am    G       C
Topaz city tonight
