G Am Em G Am C G
Sunset sky is leaving your hometown behind.
G Am Em G Am C G
Those pine trees fade. The tiny cars, on their way.
Am D
They're almost there.
Am D
They're almost where?
[Chorus]
G C G
What do you call the fear of being forgotten?
C G D
What if no one remembers your name?
G C G
What if we're just the food for the cotton,
C G D
The roots of the garden, one day?
Am D
Does it frighten or free us
Am D G
To think the... the world doesn't need us, at all?
[Verse 2]
G Am Em
The valley is wide.
G Am C G
You can see its lights from the sky.
G Am Em
A silent shimmering earth,
G Am C G
And another young fool takes his turn
Am D Am D
To arrive at A X with that kickdrum in his chest.
[Chorus]
G C G
What do you call the fear of being forgotten?
C G D
What if no one remembers your name?
G C G
What if we're just the food for the cotton,
C G D
The roots of the garden, one day?
Am D
Does it frighten or free us
Am D
To think the... the world doesn't need us?
[Bridge]
Am
And our memoirs,
D
Are just cave art?
G D Em
Our walk of fame, starlight, trophy wives?
D
Everybody's walking away, but
Am D
Nobody knows what to say except
Am D Am
To make it clear, by God:
Em D
"I was here!"

[Verse 3]
G Am Em G Am C G
But Hollywood knows where the stars really go.
G Am Em
It's not where you think;
G Am C G
All the parking is free.
Am D
And I'm not being clever
G Am C
When I say, "Hollywood forever!"
[Chorus]
G C G
What do you call the fear of being forgotten?
C G D
What if no one remembers your name?
G C G
What if we're just the food for the cotton,
C G D
The roots of the garden, one day?
Am D
Well we'll honk our horns.
Am D
Forget that we were born... naked.
