Cant Look Back

           Am7              Dsus4
I was on a train out of New Mexico
D             G                  
Looking for a flame for my heart 
   C
of coal
              Am7                  
Sold my Nikon lenses to get out of 
Dsus4
town
      D                    G      
Don’t know how deep you’re in 
                       C
until you’re trying to get out
                        Am7        
She was floating like a vision down
            Dsus4
 through the isle
D           G                     
Mississippi queen with a Tennessee 
 C
smile
                   Am7       
The smell of cheap coffee and 
           Dsus4
Jamaician rum
   D                  G           
We watched the desert fade in the 
         C
Sante Fe sun


[Pre-Chorus]
Am7
  I said I’m not feeling right
D
 She said boy you’ll be just fine
G                       C
 Go ahead and rest your eyes


[Chorus]
                     Am7        
Cause you can’t look back (can’t 
      Dsus4
look back)
    D          G              
You can’t look back (can’t look 
  C
back)
               Am7           Dsus4
There ain’t no future in the past
        D          G              
And you can’t look back (can’t 
  C
look back)


[Verse 2]
                  Am7        
With characters galore in the 
          Dsus4
Sayulita sun
D            G                   C
Pineapple pastor with the senoritas
             Am7                   
All the disenfranchised kids in the
 Dsus4
 room

D          G                    C
We were baptized in the Pacific moon
              Am7             Dsus4
Someone put a cactus up to my tongue
D             G                  
You can feel alive and try 
     C
calling it love
             Am7                 
A Boy with a smile handed me his 
Dsus4
keys
      D            G              
Said ‘go ahead and try’ but you’ll
       C
 never leave


[Pre-Chorus]
Am7
   Someone was singing a hymn
D
 And the moon just started to spin
G                C
 So I jump right in singing


[Chorus]
               Am7              
You can’t look back (can’t look 
Dsus4
back)
    D          G              
You can’t look back (can’t look 
  C
back)
               Am7           Dsus4
There ain’t no future in the past
        D          G              
And you can’t look back (can’t 
  C
look back)

[Verse 3]
             Am7               
The years go by like you never 
Dsus4
planned
D              G          
I had missed a flight out of 
         C
Birmingham
                   Am7             
The way her yellow apron walked in 
    Dsus4
the room
D               G                
There was no mistake in the way 
        C
that she moved
            Am7                Dsus4
‘This is my boy and this is my girl
    D            G                
Now I’ll be in employed till the 
          C
end of the world’
            Am7                    
Somewhere tonight on the westbound 
Dsus4
train
  D                 G         
I know there's wild hearts just 
           C
running away



[Pre-Chorus]
Am7
   It sounded just like a dream
D
 One that she’s still singing to me
G                C
 It was so bittersweet


[Chorus]
                       Am7         
Because you can’t look back (can’t 
     Dsus4
look back)
    D          G              
You can’t look back (can’t look 
  C
back)
               Am7           Dsus4
There ain’t no future in the past
        D        G                
And you can’t go back (can’t look 
C
back)

               Am7              
You can’t look back (can’t look 
Dsus4
back)
    D        G                C
You can’t go back (can’t look back)
               Am7           Dsus4
There ain’t no future in the past
        D          G              
And you can’t look back (can’t 
  C
look back)
