[Intro]Bm D A G[Verse]BmThe cute bomber jacket you've had since sixth formDAdorned with patches of places you've beenAIs nothing on my khaki coat I gotGFrom a roadside when I was sixteen[Verse]BmMy boots are from airportsMy backpack's from friendsDI'm not a man of substance, and so I'll pretendATo be a wanderer, wonderingGLeaving ascetic belongings in hostels and restaurant bins[Verse]BmThe roads are my home, horizon's my targetDIf I keep on moving, never lose sight of itATreating my memory of you like a fire, let itGBurn out, don't fight it, and try to move on[Verse]BmIt's been sixty weeks since I saw ViennaDA bandage and a wide smile slapped across my faceAI'll pick up my hiking boots when I am readyGAnd I'll put down my roots when I'm dead-single strums-[Verse]BmThe distance is futileACome on, don't be hastyF#m GYou'll get that feeling deep inside your bonesBmI'll be gone then, for when you must be alone[Outro]Bm D A G
