G Travelin' light D G With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through D G D A hole in your soul where the wind blows through D You wandered away from your childhood home A Nobody cared to trace the tracks you laid You traveled by night and you traveled alone D Came to rest at a penny arcade Well, the last shots over on a Saturday night A You wake up in the beam of a cop's flashlight He asks you who you are as if you knew or cared D He asks you where you live and you say nowhere G D So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd A D The ones that only fit where they're not allowed G D Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue..... G Travelin' light D G With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through D G D A hole in your soul where the wind blows through solo (chords as verse) D I don't know where I got it, but, I got it the same A It's a feelin' that'll rip you apart It follows me around like a part of my name D Like I'm born with a time bomb instead of a heart G D So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd A D The ones that only fit where they're not allowed G D Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue..... G Travelin' light D G With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through D G D A hole in your soul where the wind blows through D G With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through D G D A hole in your soul where the wind blows through G D Mixed up kid, join the crowd A D The ones that only fit, not allowed G D Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue..... G Travelin' light D G With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through D G D A hole in your soul where the wind blows through D G With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through D G D A hole in your soul where the wind blows through D A D D A D
