Capo 4th fret

Intro G Em C D (repeat)


       Em                   C
Well it's half my heart and a little bit of soul
       G                       D
That makes me feel I've gotta ride this road
Em            C             G       D
I wouldn't change it if I could
    Em                                 C
And me and this road, you know we've got an understanding
G                     D            Em            C              G      D
It won't leave me at home and I am too tired to do just what I should
C                 D              G                   Em
And last night I asked if I could take comfort in the rosewood
C                         D
The road said nothing at all

Chorus

        G                      Em
'Cause it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard
   C                           D
I drive it all night with the wheel of my car
G                   Em             C     D
It won't leave me running for the door
             G                      Em
And if the paint's still wet I can just slow down
        C                     D                  G
And it all goes away on the other side of town
                     Em        C   D
And nothing is that easy anymore

         Em                         C
Well the hurt won't leave with the sight of white lines
          G            D            
But it eases up my pain for a while,
   Em       C       G     D
The only habit that I keep
Em                             C
And miles take time but the time is mine
           G                 D      Em           C        G       D
And always moving suits me fine, I'll catch my breath when I sleep
  C          D               G      Em           C                  D
And after all that I've done I'm not half what I hoped that I'd become
C                          D
There's still a long way to go


Repeat Chorus
