  Hey, JoJo - Yeah, I know your name.
F                    F                 C  Cadd9  C  Cadd9
  I thought I saw you jump the Utah train
                 Am      Am  F          C    C
but I could not say...     I could not say

F                   F                     C  Cadd9  C  Cadd9
  Heard you tried to keep your hat on a shelf.
F                F                 C  Cadd9  C  Cadd9
Marry the woman; went off and loved someone else.
             Am    Am  F       C    C
Could be as well...  I cannot tell - Oh, no I cannot tell!

Might try to keep you from the man you have been.
                  Am   Am  F            C    C
So, don't go that way... Don't go that way.

Oh, 'cause the story I heard is the people are bored
           C                 C
and the measures you take to wrestle with your Lord.
         Fadd9                   Fadd9
All the money you take, all the memories you spill
          C                           C
Will He measure your tongue? Will He measure your will? oh now

One of these mornings we'll be the loudest you’ll hear.
F                       F                 C  Cadd9  C  Cadd9
You'll write your story on firecracker paper

         Am   Am F        C     C
And disappear... Near disappear...

And disappear... Near disappear...

[Chorus]
                 F6                   F6
Oh, because the story I heard is the people are bored
         C                       C
and the measures you take to wrestle with your Lord.
         Fadd9                             Fadd9
All the measures you fake, whether you're dead or just still.
         C                            C
Will He measure your tongue? Will He measure your will? oh now

One of these mornings We'll be... We'll be home.
