E
[VERSE 1]
A E
On a desert Christmas morning, 1981
B
One month shy of six years old
F#m
In the valley of the sun
A E
My first two-wheel bicycle stood by the tree
F#m
My heart thumping in my chest
A B
Though I'd tried, I couldn’t ride one yet

[VERSE CONTINUED]
A E
Out on our street when my dad let go of the seat
F#m
I rode off and down the road
A B
Somehow I never went back home
[CHORUS 1]
E
But I remember what it was like
A
Astride my yellow bike
E
First freedom, second life
A
All the places I could ride
G#m
Leaving early packing light
C#m B A A/G#
That little ache inside
F#m A
My kingdom for someone to ride with

[VERSE 2]
A E
Now a highwayman who traded in his handlebars
B
Going back and forth
F#m
In vans and rental cars
A E
On the 10, the 5, the 90, and the 95
F#m
In love with every stretch of road
A B
But when I drive them on my own

[CHORUS 2]
G#m
They remind me what it was like
C#m B A A/G#
Astride that yellow bike
F#m A
My kingdom for someone
[BRIDGE]
A
Some folks are loners
G#m
And you learn from them
F#m
If you've always been a joiner
E
On the move again
A
But if you keep your legs pumping
G#m
Despite everything
F#m
Well, you can take that sting
A B
You can make it swing
[CHORUS 3]
E
Just remember what it was like
A
Astride that yellow bike
E
First freedom, second life
A
All the places I could ride
G#m
Leaving early packing light
C#m B A A/G#
That little ache inside
F#m A
My kingdom for someone to ride with
F#m Am E
I'd trade my kingdom for someone to ride with
