[C] [Em][F] [G] [G/B] [Am]
Instead of:
[C#][Fm][F#][G#][G#/C][Bm]
intro [C#][Fm][F#][G#]
[C#] Like the rocks that line this [Fm] road I drive
My [F#] words might a have seemed so [G#] hard
[C#] But not a one was [Fm] penned unkind
They were [F#] pieces of my [G#] heart
[C#] A weak attempt to [Fm] explain some things
That were [F#] weighting on my [G#] mind
[C#] Now I find my [Fm] biggest crime
Was [F#] keeping too much too [G#] long inside
[C#] Judging by my [Fm] gages
I need to [F#] think about finding [G#] gas
[C#] But my minds been [Fm] more than full
Thinking [F#] of you as the miles role [G#] past
Chorus:
[F#] I'm rolling down this [G#] highway
Trying to get a [C#] handle [G#/C] on [Bm] events
With [F#] one hand on the [G#] steering wheel
[C#] And one hand [G#/C] on the [Bm] wind [F#][G#]
[F#] I hope it all made [G#] sense
[Fm] I hope it all made some [C#] sense
insturmental:
[C#] I thought it would be [Fm] better
If I'd [F#] paint my thoughts with [G#] ink
[C#] It seems my mouth don't [Fm] work so well
[F#] Expressing what I [G#] think
[C#] Like the gravel on the [Fm] road
Kicked [F#] up by the passing [G#] trucks
[C#] Words fly [Fm] back in my face
And crack the [F#] windshields I put [G#] up
Repeat chorus:
[C#] I would like nothing [Fm] better
Than for [F#] this to have worked out [G#] right
[C#] That's why I left that [Fm] letter
On your [F#] car the other [G#] night
[C#] Now it seems so [Fm] high school
But it seemed [F#] so right at the [G#] time
[C#] You get a letter on your [Fm] windshield
[F#] I get away behind [G#] mine
Repeat chorus:
