D           G            D         G
Who doesn't know what I'm talking about 
D                G                
Who's never left home, who's never 
 D
struck out 
            G                        D
To find a dream and a life of their own 
  G                         A
A place in the clouds, a foundation of 
stone 

D      Em                  D
Many preceed and many will follow 
D              Em               D
A young girl's dream no longer hollow 
              G                   D
It takes the shape of a place out west 
            G

make her big mistakes
      D  Em  G          A             
She needs new faces She knows the high 
D    Em G A
stakes

D                Em         D
She traveled this road as a child 
D             Em                  D
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired 
            G                        
But now she won't be coming back with 
    D
the rest 
             G                         
If these are life's lessons, she'll take
 A
this test

She said, "It didn't seem like that long
 D
ago" 
         G                          
When she stood there and let her own
