[Verse 1]
[Am]The boy looks high
He looks higher than the sky
You an see it in his eyes
Watch as he tries

[Verse 2]
The [Dm]city never lets him go
So he never tries
[Am]The [Dm]city never lets you go
So you never try
[Am]It's

[Verse 3]
bigger than a breadbox
Texas, California
His path was on the parks,
running Knik to Pittman
The [Dm]city was a shotgun
ending in sunshine
Sunshine never ends,
so he never [Am]tries

[Verse 4]
Well we dug a [Am]hole
Filled it up with other holes (filled it up
with other holes)
With these other [Dm]holes
We found a home
Hid away our hungry men
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]
If it takes us [G]sixty years, [Dm]I'll [Am]go

[Verse 6]
The [Am]boy looks high
He looks higher than the sky
You an see it in his eyes
Watch how he cries
[Dm]The path was on a straight line
Church Street to Houston
Houston to the butte
Coming straight back to [Am]Houston

[Verse 7]
Well we dug [Am]a hole
Filled it up with other holes,
with these other [Dm]holes
We dug a hole
And buried all those hungry men
[Am](all the hungry men)

[Verse 8]
If it takes us [Am]sixty years,
if it takes us [C]sixty years
If it takes us [G]sixty years
[Dm]I'll dig a hole and [Am]find a fire
[C]If it takes us [G]sixty years
I'll [Dm]dig another hole

[Verse 9]
[Am]Well,[Dm]
[Am]we found a hole
We found it with some other holes
And we climbed inside
[Dm]We climbed back out
We left 'em by the hungry men
All the hungry [C]men

[Verse 10]
If it takes us [G]sixty years
[Dm]I'll dig a hole and [Am]find a fire
[C]If it takes us [G]sixty years
I'll [Dm]dig another h[Am]ole

[Verse 11]
He [Am]got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man,
the straight man
He got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man

[Verse 12]
He [Am]got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man,
the straight man
He [Dm]got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man
[Am](the straight [Dm]man)[Am]

[Verse 13]
The boy looks high
He looks higher than the sky (if it
takes us sixty years)
[Dm]The city never lets him go
So he never tries
The city never lets him go
So he never [Am]tries

[Verse 14]
If it takes us sixty years
Filled it up with other holes,
with these other holes
If it takes [Dm]us sixty years

The boy looks high
The boy looks high
The boy looks high

[Dm]boy looks high
The boy [C]looks high

[Verse 18]

If it takes us [G]sixty years
I'll [Dm]dig another h[Am]ole
