VERSE 1
G5                                     E5
Staring out of my window
                                                    C5
Watching the cars go rolling by

My friends are gone
                              Dsus2
I've got nothing to do
G5                               E5
So I sit here patiently
                                                        C5
Watching the clock tick so slowly

Gotta get away
                                Dsus2
Or my brains will explode

CHORUS
C5                              G5                            Dsus2
Give me something to do to kill some time
C5                           G5                      Dsus2
Take me to that place that I call home
C5                          G5                     Dsus2
Take away the strains of being lonely
C5                         G5                          D5 
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road

VERSE 2
G5                                E5
See the hills from afar
                                             C5
Standing on my beat up car
                                                                        Dsus2
The sun went down and the night fills the sky
G5                                                E5
Now I feel like me once again
                                             C5
As the train comes rolling in

Smoked my boredom gone
                                          Dsus2
Slapped my brains up so high

CHORUS
C5                              G5                            Dsus2
Give me something to do to kill some time
C5                          G5                      Dsus2
Take me to that place that I call home
C5                          G5                    Dsus2
Take away the strains of being lonely
C5                         G5                          D5
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road

If there's one thing that I need
             C5             F5            G5
That makes me feel complete
         C5          F5       G5

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
