Pioneer

Intro:
Eb
Verse:
                   Eb                Ab           Cm
Miles and miles on a treadmill mind
            Bb                     Eb              Ab
I'm running but not going anywhere
                       Eb                    Ab      Cm
I closed the blinds on the frontier life
          Bb                    Eb                   Ab
I dressed it up as freedom but it's fear
            Bb                     Eb                   Ab
Lost sight of who I am and why I'm here

Chorus:
          Ab
So free me from this fortress, 
            Eb
this prison that I've made
                   Bb
With my civilized salvation 
      G/H    Cm              
and my picket fence of faith
          Ab
My eyes on the horizon, 
        Eb     Bb/D      Cm
I cannot settle here
              Bb      
How could I die in safety? 
               Ab            Eb       Eb
I was born a pioneer

Verse 2:
                       Eb        Ab             Cm
And letting go, I leave it all behind
             Bb                       Eb                   Ab
I'm parting ways with years of wasted time
                       Eb              Ab              Cm
I'm moving out of this old man's house
                 Bb                              Eb                  Ab
Somewherе in me, there's thе wonder of a child
               Bb                 Eb                    Ab
And I wonder if I'll find him in the wild

Chorus:
          Ab
So free me from this fortress, 
            Eb
this prison that I've made
                   Bb
With my civilized salvation 
      G/H    Cm              
and my picket fence of faith
          Ab
My eyes on the horizon, 
        Eb     Bb/D      Cm
I cannot settle here
              Bb      
How could I die in safety? 
               Ab            Eb       Eb
I was born a pioneer
