[Verse 1]
G#m              F#                  B                   E
Ignore the wreckage on the shoulder
G#m                  F#          B                  E
I cross the border into New Jersey
G#m          F#                  B                  E
Where a dotted line from my antenna says
G#m          F#                  B          E
“May no fantasy hold my head up”
G#m                  F#          B                  E
Just another day in the polar vortex
G#m                  F#                  B                          E
Do I do my thing and just keep my head down?
G#m                  F#          B                  E
Or do I eclipse back to Atlanta? No!
G#m          F#          B                  E
May no fantasy hold my head up
G#m          F#                  B                  E
Nor may no memory fold my head in

[Chorus]
B          F#          G#          E
‘Cause I don’t know how
B                  F#                          E
But I’m thinking it’ll all work out
B          F#          G#          E
‘Cause I don’t know how
B                  F#                   E
But I’m thinking it’ll all work out

[Verse 2]
G#m F# B E
In the night when I feel your absence
G#m F# B E
Like a dotted line across my shoulder
G#m F# B E
Like a silver vision across the desert
G#m F# B E
May no memory hold my head up
G#m F# B E
Now the endless night and I lift my head up
G#m F# B E
Where beyond my window a thread of light lives
G#m F# B E
With Manhattan Island on the dark horizon
G#m F# B E
No, may no memory hold my head up
G#m F# B E
Nor may no fantasy fold my head in

[Chorus]
B F# G# E
‘Cause I don’t know how
B F# E
But I’m thinking it’ll all work out
B F# G# E
‘Cause I don’t know how
B F# E
But I’m thinking it’ll all work out
B F# G# E
‘Cause I don’t know how
B F# E
But I’m thinking it’ll all work out
B F# G# E
‘Cause I don’t know how
B F# E
But I’m thinking it’ll all work out
