Brenda Kahn - In Indiana

[Intro]
F G C Am
F G C Am
F G C Am
F G

[Verse 1]
F G C Am
There’s a tragic Miss, with a pout and a beer
F G C Am
Desperately trying to make sex look sincere
F G C Am
And the band is sweating with a limerick leer
F G
Come on let’s get out of here

F G C Am
Brooklyn is only six bucks and a door slam
F G C Am
Life dug holes in his face sorry and sad
F G C Am
The goal she said is keep your head
F G
And fit your life in the trunk of a yellow cab

[Pre-Chorus]
F E C
And if you talk to walls only walls will answer
F E C Am E7
Only walls will answer you

[Chorus]
Am Am7/G
And I’m not wasting your time
Am Am7/G
You say you know I’d leave you far behind
F G C Am
I wake to find I’m standing still
F G C Am
As the cemetery gate on graveyard hill
G7
And they thank you twice then wish you well
Am G
In-in-Indiana

[Verse 2]
F G C Am
It was raining ice in Cleveland last night
F G C Am
I don’t know anyone
F G C Am
At all
F G C Am
Two thousand miles from Avenue A
F G
The waitress still watching every move I make

[Pre-Chorus]
F E C
And if you talk to walls only walls will answer
F E C Am E7
Only walls will answer you

[Chorus]
Am Am7/G
And I’m not wasting your time
Am Am7/G
You say you know I’d leave you far behind
F G C Am
I wake to find I’m standing still
F G C Am
As the cemetery gate on graveyard hill
G7
And they thank you twice then wish you well
Am G
In-in-Indiana
Am E7
In-in-Indiana

[Verse 3]
F G C Am
And I would live on the Brooklyn side if I could
F G C Am
Look out my windows through those metal neon lines
F G C Am
Of the fifty-foot Domino Sugar sign
F G
Hangs over Brooklyn like a cross on a hill

F G C Am
And the tragic Miss with the pout and the beer
F G C Am
Desperately trying to make sex look sincere
F G C Am
Is ignoring my friends who are too drunk to fear
F G C Am
And the band still sweating a sardonic sneer
F G C Am
And I know that I’m going, but am I going anywhere

[Chorus]
Am G
In Indiana

[Outro]
F G C Am
And Brooklyn is a long cab ride
F G C Am
Away
F G C
F G F/C
