[Verse 1]
Em   D        A   Asus4 A
Leaving the valley
    D      F#m     Bm  Bm/A
In a U-Haul loaded down
Em     D        A   Asus4 A
All of our belongings
          D               F#m     
Except for what we left in storage
        Bm    Bm/A
 back in town
Em   D        A    Asus4 A
Long desert highways
         D           F#m       Bm 
Where the wheel stops, no one 
 Bm/A
knows
Em  D     A    Asus4 A
My sister breathing
     D   F#m            A7/G
This song playing on the radio

[Chorus]
D                          Em    
How do you stop a rolling stone?
G/F# G

                        D       
How will you know you're finally 
      Cadd9         A7/G
home, finally home
D                         Em  G/F# G
How many canyons will you run
                       D          
Before your face warms in the sun,
Cadd9       G
 in the sun
             D              Cadd9 
Before you're finally home, 
       G G/F#
finally home

[Verse 2]
Em   D         A      Asus4 A
Wish it would rain now
     D    F#m       Bm Bm/A
Like Hilda always says
Em       D            A     Asus4 A
The devil beats his wife again
       D       F#m                 
As the monsoon clouds start rolling
Bm Bm/A
 in
Em  D       A         Asus4 A
We got our model home
             D      F#m           
But what the Lord gives, he can 
   Bm  Bm/A
take away
Em   D        A        Asus4 A
Raindrops on windshield
      D              F#m       A7/G
As the wipers wave a long goodbye

[Chorus]
D                          Em    
How do you stop a rolling stone?
G/F# G

                        D       
How will you know you're finally 
      Cadd9         A7/G
home, finally home
D                         Em  G/F# G
How many canyons will you run
                       D          
Before your face warms in the sun,
Cadd9       G
 in the sun
              D             Cadd9 
Before you're finally home, 
          A7/G Em/G
finally done running

If I swung my tassel to the left 
       A7/G   Em/G
side of my cap
After graduation, will there be no 
  A7/G     Em/G
going back?
