1000 MILES FROM NOWHERE (Dwight Yoakam)

[I personally like to play this in G; that way you can do easier bass runs
and stuff.]
[*, **, or *** means play one of the riffs at the bottom.]

[intro]
C Am *
I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
C Am **
Time don’t matter to me
C Am
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
F G *** G
And there’s no place I wanna be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said
I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I wanna be
F F G G F F G G Am Am
Oh I, oh I, oh I——I, I—I…
[guitar solo, same chords as verse]
Oh I…
I’ve got bruises on my memories
I’ve got tearstains on my hands
And in the mirror there’s a vision
Of what used to be a man
I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I wanna be
I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I wanna be
