A We got off the plane in the cold, cold rain E Lost track of the hour, lost track of the day D Bm E We were very far away from anywhere we'd been before A We got on a bus and we went to the city E Got off at a stop because we liked the name D We were in for an adventure Bm E And that's all we knew for sure D F#m E And we walked until we couldn't walk no more Bm E (single strum) Jet lag and sore feet led us to the door A Of an expensive noisy bed E Where we could rest our heavy heads D We slept away the rest of the day Bm E And well into the night A F#m Bm And we woke up with a hunger for life E Well before the sun rised A We didn't have money to ride the underground E So we walked the miles and miles of this town D When night fell like a rock we realized Bm E A We were never gonna find a patch of open ground E And the rain was comin' down D And the trains were shuttin' down Bm We were worn out, wet and lost E A There was no shelter to be found A E Bm E A E A F#m (single strum) DE A We spent over a week of our budget E On a taxi and a bed D And we made plans at night to escape Bm E This expensive wonderland A We would set out for the wild E We would see what was beyond D We would sleep above the soil Bm E And we would travel by our thumbs D E And written above my hostel bed A F#m In black marker it said D "There's a light E A And it never goes out" A We didn't have a clue what we were doin' E We didn't even know where we wanted to go D The next day we took the tube all the way Bm E Out to the end of the line A It took us five hours to find a place to stand E We stuck out our thumbs, we raised our hands D It was rainin' hard again Bm E But we were not surprised D F#m No one wants to pick you up E When you're soakin' wet Bm D It was hard not havin' second thoughts E (single strum) About goin' on this trip D A And we ate the rest of our hostel bread D A Under a dark, damp underpass D A We watched the cars go past D A The sun was sinking fast D A But salvation came at last D A In a little blue hatchback E D A And he took us a few miles down the road A The day was almost over E It was hard not to give in D We had made it outta the city Bm E We were thinkin' about givin' up and settin' up our tent A But a Jeep pulled over then E And he told us to get in D He said his name was Nick Bm E (single strum) Right away he felt just like a friend D E And he took us to some land A D Where some people live on buses D E Invited us to stay the night A And we could not refuse D E We got a bus of our own A And it had a soft, warm bed D E We built a little fire A And we dried our soaking shoes Bm E And we slept, yeah we slept A Just like little babies A The next day at Stonehenge E We couldn't afford to get in D We thought it would be free, Bm E We were surprised to see the fence A This day would set the theme E Of this trip for you and me D We could pay to see the sights of Europe Bm E Or we could choose to eat D F#m And we pressed on to an old Roman city E And we made it before night Bm D We broke down and bought some fries E (single strum) Just so we could get dry D A D A D A And curse the sky, curse the sky, curse the sky E A It rains all the time A We found a spot to pitch our tent E It was our first night in it D The rain soaked in, the ground was cold Bm E It sank into my bones A F#m Bm And we decided that it was way too cold E To keep goin' the way we had planned to go A E And that night we agreed that we would turn around D Bm E We'd head for warmer ground, we'd start makin' our way south D E A D Oh you can't get lost if you've got no place to go D E A D You can't take a wrong turn if you're not on your way home Bm D E A And we realized just how free we really were
