[Verse]
          Gm7     G     C
Folks, we finally got a headline

"Newsies crushed as Bulls attack"
           Dm               G                    C     D    C   D
Crutchie's callin me, dumb crip's just too damn slow
         Gm7       G         C
Guys are fightin', bleedin', fallin'
          Gm7       G       C     Am
Thanks to good ole' Captain Jack
        C                  D7                 Bb
Captain Jack just wants to close his eyes and GO!

G

[Chorus 1]
       C
Let me go
     Am
Far away
          F          G    F    C
Somewhere they won't ever find me
      G      E     A      Am    F
And tomorrow won't remind me of today
         Dm     G7           Gm7  Am
When the city's finally sleepin'
        Dm         G7      Em   Am
And the moon looks old and grey
      D#   Bb           Am        D7        G
I get on a train that's bound for Santa Fe


[Chorus 2]
        C
And I'm gone
        Am
And I'm done
         F     G       F C
No more runnin', no more hidin'
        G       E     A     Am    F
No more fat old men denying me my pay
       Dm      G7      C
Just a moon so big and yellow
         F           G7   E
It turns night right into day
            Dm
Dreams come true
          G7
Yeah, they do
         C
In Santa Fe

[Bridge]
F             G       F     G        C
Where does it say you gotta live and die here?
F             G     F         G       C
Where does it say a guy can't catch a break?
C
Why should you only take what you're given?
Am                        Fm
Why should you spend your whole life livin'
Am
Trapped where there ain't no future
F
Even at seventeen
Am                                    F
Breakin' your back for someone else's sake
       Bb
If the life don't seem to suit ya
Bm                    E
How 'bout a change of scene?
Am
Far from the lousy headlines
        G
And the deadlines in between


[Chorus 3]
G7    C
Santa Fe
       Am
My old friend
       F        G     F    C
I can't spend my whole life dreaming
         G           E     A      Am        F
Though I know that's all I seem inclined to do
        Dm      G7  C
I ain't gettin' any younger
      F       G7    E
And I wanna start brand new
       Dm
I need space
         G7
And fresh air
        C           Em
Let 'em laugh in my face
        Am
I don't care
C      Dm
Save my place
        F
I'll be there

[Outro]
          Gm7         G      C
Just be real is all I'm askin'
         Gm7       G         C    Am
Not some paintin' in my head
         Dm             G7                 C
'Cause I'm dead if I can't count on you today
      D#      Bb   Am        D7    C
I got nothin' if I ain't got Santa Fe
