Kansas

Vienna Teng - Kansas 

Bm             G
Sun sets in an ocean of
D               A
brown farmland haze
Bm
Power lines draped across
G                 D          F#
roads you could drive on for days
           Em  F#m G   A
Well, it's all too perfect
Em   F#m G    A          Bm
Time to  look back at us now

G                      D       A
Endless and empty like Kansas
              Bm
Our cities of clouds
G                      D       A
Flat on the table like Kansas

  Bm         G
I lay down in sheets
D                  A
suddenly worn threadbare
    Bm
Every wall I lean on
     G                D 
transforms to sliding doors
         F#7
and thin air
        Em   F#m      G  A
Well, I hope yours is kinder
    Em    F#m         G    A
Let go of this when you find her

          Bm
Bury this hard
G                          D    A
Down underneath your white canvas
              Bm
Our houses of cards
G                      D   A
Flat on the table like Kansas

Em
It's not regret
A                Bm
Just an unexpected accounting of debts
Bm
Only now called
Em
No it's not regret
A
Just remembrance is all
Bm
Of how close we had come
Bm
The war almost won
A
But I sent up our flag and moved on
Bm
You and I
G                       D     A
Lost to the winter like Kansas
Bm
And all my goodbyes
G                     D    A
Flat on the table like Kansas
