Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 Who doesn't know what I'm talking about

 Who's never left home, who's never struck out

 To find a dream and a life of their own

 A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone

 Many precede and many will follow

 A young girl's dream no longer hollow

 It takes the shape of a place out west

 But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

Chorus

 She needs wide open spaces

 Room to make her big mistakes

 She needs new faces

 She knows the high stakes

Verse 2

 She traveled this road as a child

 Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired

 But now she won't be coming back with the rest

 If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test

[Repeat Chorus]

As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check the oil!"

Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leaving my girl"

She said, "It didn't seem like that long ago"

When she stood there and let her own folks know

[Repeat Chorus]

She knows the highest stakes

She knows the highest stakes

She knows the highest stakes

She knows the highest stakes
