D There's a girl waiting for me in Austin 
A7 She knows I'm coming through today 
She's G waiting to see if I'll stop by 
Waits to Bm see what I A7 have to D say 
 
D There's a strong wind blowing in Austin 
A7 Strange for this time of year 
So I G wonder if it's not a message of sorts 
Bm Something that A7 I should D hear 
A Bm message I'm A7 supposed to D hear 
D My head says keep on blowing 
My A7 heart says you're out of your mind 
G Enoughs enough you're only just so tough 
You need to Bm learn to A7 read the D signs 
D Of a road that's going nowhere 
Just A7 leading you around the bend 
To where G another bend waits again 
Just like Bm every A7 other D time 
Just like Bm every A7 other D time 
 
Instrumental: 
 
D As a poet and a dreamer 
Who A7 part-times as a fool 
You G can't ignore the unexplored 
You can't Bm live with what A7 might have D been 
D Well, there's a might have been in Austin 
And A7 though it hasn't happened yet 
It's G more a question of when this time 
And Bm less a A7 question D if 
Yeah, it's Bm less a A7 question G if 
 
Those Bm might have beens and A7 those then agains 
Can G sure push and pull and can D tear you 
And Bm hinting winds and A7 those hidden bends 
Can G sure leave your compass a D mess 
But if the Bm to and fro ever A7 let you go 
The G shock would D/F# surely Em kill you 
So you Bm just move on 
Cause it's A7 all you've ever D known 
 
Instrumental: 
 
D There's a might have been in Austin 
And A7 though it hasn't happened yet 
It's G more a question of when this time 
And Bm less a A7 question D if 
It's Bm less a A7 question D if 
It's Bm less a A7 question D if {G}{A7}{D}
