[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I've never had [D]a way
with [Em]women
But the [C]hills of [G]Iowa make
[D]me wish that I [G]could
And I've never found
[D]a way to say [Em]I love you
But [C]if the chance [G]came by,
oh, [D]I, I [G]would
But way [Em]back where I come from,
we nev[C]er mean [G]to bother
We don't [Am]like to make our passions
other [D]people's concern
And we [G]walk in [D]the world
of safe [Em]people
[C]And at night, we walk in[G]to
our [D]houses [G]and burn

[Verse 2]
Iowa, [G]oh, [D]ooh, oh
[Em]Iowa, [C]oh[G]
[D]I, [G]Iowa
Iowa, oh, ooh, [D]oh
[Em]Iowa, [C]oh[G]
[D]I, Iowa
[G]

[Verse 3]
How I long to [D]fall just a little [Em]bit
[C]To dance out of [G]the lines
and [D]stray from the [G]light
But I fear that [D]to fall in love with [Em]you
Is [C]to fall from [G]a great and
[D]gruesome [G]height
So you know,
[Em]I asked a friend about it [C]on a bad day
Her husband had just [Am]left her
She sat down on [D]the chair he'd left behind,
she [G]said
"What is [D]love? Where did [Em]it get me?
Who[C]ever thought [G]of love
[D]is no friend of [G]mine"

[Verse 4]
Iowa, [G]oh, ooh, [D]oh
[Em]Iowa, [C]oh[G]
[D]I, [G]Iowa
Iowa, oh, ooh, [D]oh
[Em]Iowa, [C]oh[G]
[D]I, Iowa

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Em][C][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 5]
Once [G]I had e[D]verything, I gave i[Em]t up
For [C]the shoulder of [G]your driveway and
[D]the words I've never [G]felt
And so for you,
I came this [D]far across [Em]the tracks
Ten [C]miles above [G]the limit and with [D]no
[G]seatbelt, and I'd do it again
[Em]For tonight, I went running through
[C]the screen doors of dis[G]cretion
For I woke [Am]up from a nightmare that I
[D]could not stand [C]to see
You were a-wandering out
out [G]on the hills of [Em]Iowa
And [C]you were not [Am]thinking [D]of me
Oh, I, [G]I, [D]I, I, I, [Em]I, I,[C] I[G][D]
[G]I, I, Iowa
Iowa, oh, ooh, [D]oh Iowa,

[Verse 6]
[Em]
[C]oh[G]
[D]I, [G]Iowa
Iowa, oh, ooh, [D]oh
[Em]Iowa, [C]oh[G]
[D]I, [G]Iowa
Iowa, oh, ooh, [D]oh
[Em]Iowa, [C]oh[G]
[D]I, [G]Iowa
Iowa, oh, ooh, [D]oh
[Em]Iowa, [C]oh[G]
[D]I, [G]Iowa
