Capo 2nd Fret

D           Dsus/G        D            Dsus D 
Who doesn't know what I'm talking About 
D                Dsus/G            D   Dsus D 
Who's never left home, who's never struck out 
          G                         D  Dsus D 
To find a dream and a life of their own 
  G                                 A              
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone 
D        Dsus/G             D   Dsus  D  
Many precede and many will follow 
D              Dsus/G          D    Dsus D 
A young girl's dream no longer hollow 
             G                   D   Dsus D 
It takes the shape of a place out West 
            G                         A    Asus  A 
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed 

Chorus:
          D    Em  G     A 
She needs wide open spaces 
D       Em          G   A 
Room to make a big mistake
         D Em G     A 
She needs new  faces 
                  D   Em G A 
She knows the highest stakes 


D                  Dsus/G    D   Dsus D 
She traveled this road as a child 
              Dsus/G               D Dsus  D 
Wide-eyed and grinning, she never tired 
            G                             D  Dsus D 
But now she won't be coming back with the rest 
             G                           A    Asus A 
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test 

Chorus:
          D    Em  G     A 
She needs wide open spaces 
D       Em         G     A 
Room to make a big mistake 
         D Em G     A 
She needs new  faces 
                     D   
She knows the highest stakes 
    Em               G    A    
She knows the highest stakes

D                  Dsus/G                         D Dsus D 
 
As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check The Oil!" 
                   Dsus/G                           D Dsus D 
Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm Leaving My Girl" 
             G                       D  Dsus D 
She says, it didn't seem like I left long ago 
         G                           A     Asus A 
When she stood there and let her own folks know 

Chorus:
          D    Em  G     A 
She needs wide open spaces 
D       Em           G   A 
Room to make a big mistake
          D Em G     A 
She needs new  faces 
                  D   
She knows highest stakes 
    Em               G    A    
She knows the highest stakes
