[INTRO]
        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

             G#m 
        They remind me what it was like

[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
