Intro: A# F Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
F Gm
I’ve never had a way with women
D# A# F A# D# A#
But the hills of Iowa make me wish that I could
F Gm
And I’ve never found a way to say I love you
D# A# F A# D# A#
But if the chance came by, oh I, I would
Gm D# A#
But way back where I come from, we never mean to bother
D# Cm F
We don’t like to make our passions other peoples' concern
A# F Gm
And we walk in the world of safe people
D# A# F A# D# A#
And at night we walk into our houses and burn
Chorus:
F
Iowa, oh ooh
Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
Iowa, oh, oooh, ooh, oh, I-Iowa
F
Iowa, oh ooh
Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
Iowa, oh, oooh, ooh, oh, I-Iowa
F Gm
How I long to fall just a little bit
D# A# F A# D# A#
To dance out of the lines and stray from the light
F Gm
But I fear that to fall in love with you
D# A# F A# D# A#
Is to fall from a great and gruesome height
Gm D#
So you know, I asked a friend about it, on a bad day
Cm
Her husband had just left her
F
She sat down on the chair he left behind
A# F Gm
She said, "What is love, where did it get me?"
D# A# F A# D# A#
"Whoever thought of love is no friend of mine"
Chorus:
F
Iowa, oh ooh
Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
Iowa, oh, oooh, ooh, oh, I-Iowa
F
Iowa, oh ooh
Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
Iowa, oh, oooh, ooh, oh, I-Iowa
Interlude: A# F Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
F Gm
Once I had everything, I gave it up
D# A# F A# D# A#
For the shoulder of your driveway and the words I’ve never felt
F Gm
And so for you, I came this far across the tracks
D# A# F A#
Ten miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt, and I’d do it again
Gm D# A#
For tonight I went running through the screen doors of discretion
Cm F D#
For I woke up from a nightmare that I could not stand to see
A# A# Gm
You were a-wandering out on the hills of Iowa
D# Cm F
And you were not thinking of me
Bridge:
A#
Oh, ooh, oh, ooh
F Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I-I, Iowa
Chorus:
F
Iowa, oh ooh
Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
Iowa, oh, oooh, ooh, oh, I-Iowa
F
Iowa, oh ooh
Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
Iowa, oh, oooh, ooh, oh, I-Iowa
Chorus:
F
Iowa, oh ooh
Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
Iowa, oh, oooh, ooh, oh, I-Iowa
F
Iowa, oh ooh
Gm D# A# F A# D# A#
Iowa, oh, oooh, ooh, oh, I-Iowa
