          Dm7       D        G
So that's what they call a family
        Dm7       D       G      Em
Mother, daughter, father, son
           Am             D              G     A    G   A
Guess that everything you heard about is true
       Dm7       D   G
So you ain't got any family
          Dm7       D     G     Em
Well, who said you needed one?
         G             A7              F     D
Ain't ya glad nobody's waitin' up for you?

       G
When I dream    
      Em
On my own
      C       D       C   G
I'm alone but I ain't lonely
      D       B          E Em        C
For a dreamer night's the on-ly time of day
         Am     D7           Dm7  Em
When the city's finally sleepin'
       Am          D7    Bm  Em
All my thoughts begin to stray
        A#      F            Em       A7      D
And I'm on the train that's bound for Santa Fe

        G
And I'm free
         Em
Like the wind
         C     D       C G
Like I'm gonna live forever
       D       B       E Em           C
It's a feeling time can ne-ver take away
      D7                   G
All I need's a few more dollars
        C     D7      B
And I'm outta here to stay
            Am
Dreams come true
          D7
Yes, they do
         G  
In Santa Fe

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

D7    G
Santa Fe
        Em
Are you there?
       C         D        C   G
Do you swear you won't forget me?
     D         B        E  Em         C
If I found you would you let me come and stay?
        Am      D7  G
I ain't gettin' any younger
      C       D7    B
And before my dyin' day
       Am
I want space
         D7
Not just air
        G           Bm
Let 'em laugh in my face
        Em
I don't care
G      Am
Save a place
        C
I'll be there

So that's what they call a family
         Dm7       D         G    Em
Ain't ya glad you ain't that way?
         Am             D7                 G
Ain't ya glad you got a dream called Santa Fe?
