There isn’t | one of these lines that | I would erase |

I’ve lived a | million miles of m | emories on that | road |

Every | step I take I know that I | ’m not alone |

You take the | home from the boy, but not the | boy from his home |

It doesn’t | matter where you are, doesn’t | matter where you go |

If it’s a | million miles away or just a | mile up the road |

Well I | thought I heard the captain say |
Tomorrow is our sailing day
E |
Soon as the boat was clear of the bar |
He knocked me down with the end of a spar
E |
If I’d been a rich man’s son |
| B7 |
I’d s | it on the river and watch it run |
| G |
Well, | I wish I was Mr. Gates |
They’d haul my money in in crates
| E |
Well, | forty days and nights at sea |
Captain worked every last dollar out of me
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me or go to jail

I was walk | ing down the street |

Your ev | ening will be nice |

Not even f | ifteen minutes later |

I’m still walki | ng down the street |
| A | G | D |
When-I-saw the s | hadow of a man creep out of sight | → | |
| E |
Then he s | wept up from behind |
| G |
And put a g | un up to my head |
| A | G | D |
He made it c | lear he wasn’t looking for a fight | → | |

He said g | ive me all you’ve got |

Well now a co | uple hours passed |

And I was sitti | ng at my house |

The day was | winding down and coming to an end | → | |

And so I turne | d on the TV |

And flipped it | over to the news |
| A | G | D |
And what I s | aw I almost couldn’t comprehend | → | |
| E |
I saw a | preacher man in cuffs |

He’d taken | money from the church |

He’d stuffed his | bank account with righteous dollar bills | → | |

But even s | till I can’t say much |

All the way up to M | ission Street |

And I may have to | kiss you |

For the rest of my l | ife |
Bm | Am |
All the days when you were w | orking far away |

I’m as empty as a g | love |
Bm | Am |
You fill me up when you ret | urn and I can say |

On the twenty-two F | illmore |

I roll over and l | ook at you |

You’re breathing q | uietly |

As long as | I can breathe |

Out o | n a limb that was too thin |

And I | ’m already fallin’ for you |

Sometimes it all gets so dull |

Sometimes drivin’ the long way home |

Sometimes this box I’m trapped inside |

It’s like cardboard in the rain |

Guy, too young for him they told her |

Waiting for the love of a travelin’ soldier |

Waiting for the soldier to come back |

A | gain, never more to be alone |

When the | letter says a soldier’s coming | home |

One | Friday night at a football game |
| G |
The | lord’s prayer said and the anthem sang |
| C |
And a | man said folks would you bow your head |
| G |
For a | list of local Vietnam dead |
G |
Crying all alone under the stand |
| G |
Was a | piccolo player in the marching band |
| C | G |
And | one name read and nobody really | cared |
| F | C | G |
But a | pretty little girl | with a bow in her | hair |
C |
Never gonna hold the hand of another |
G |
Guy, too young for him they told her |

Waiting for the love of a travelin’ soldier |

Some nights I stay up ca | shing in my b | ad luck |
C | G | D |
Some nights I | call it a | draw |
G | C | G |
Some nights I wish that my li | ps could build a c | astle |
C | G | D |
Some nights I w | ish they’d just fa | ll off |
| C | G | C | G |
But I s | till wake | up, I still | see your g | host |
| C | G | D |
Oh lord, I’m st | ill not su | re what I s | tand for, oh |
C | G | C | G |
What do I s | tand for, | what do I | stand for? |
Em | D | C |
Most nights, I don’t kn | ow anym | ore |
C | G |
This is it, boys | this is war |
C | G |
What are we w | aiting for? |
C | G | D |
Why don’t we b | reak the rules alr | eady? |
| C | G |
I was n | ever one to b | elieve the hype |
C | G |
Save that for the bl | ack and white |
| C | G |
Try t | wice as hard and I’m | half as liked |
| D |
But h | ere they come again to jack my style |
| C | G |
I found a ma | rtyr in my | bed tonight |
| C | G |
She | stops my bones | from wondering |
| D | C | G |
Just | who I am, who I am, who I | am | |
| C | G | C | G | D |
Oh | who am | I, | mmm | m, mm | mmm |
| G | C | G |
Well | some nights I wish that this a | ll would e | nd |
| C | G | D |
‘Cause I | could use some | friends for a ch | ange |
| G | C | G |
And s | ome nights I’m scared you’ll | forget me | again |

Some n | ights, I always w | in, I | always win |

But I s | till wake u | p, I still | see your g | host |
| C | G | D |
Oh lord, I’m | still sure | sure what I | stand for, oh |
C | G | C | G |
What do I s | tand for, | what do I | stand for? |
Em | D |
Most nights, I don’t kn | ow, oh come on |
C | G |
So this is it? | I sold my soul for this? |
D |
Washed my hands of that for this? I miss my mom and dad for this? |
C | G |
No, when I see stars, when I s | ee stars, that’s all they are |
| D |
When I he | ar songs, they sound like a swan |
| C | G | D |
So come o | n, oh come | on, oh come | on, oh, come on |
| C | G |
Well | that is it, guys, th | at is all |
C | G |
Five minutes in and I’m b | ored again |
C | G | D |
Ten years of this, and I’m not | sure if anyb | ody understands |
| C | G |
This | one is not one for the fol | ks at home |
| C | G |
S | orry to leave, mom, I | had to go |
C | G | D |
Who the fuck wants to | die alone all | dried up in the desert sun? |
| C |
My heart is b | reaking for my sister |
| G |
And the c | on that she called love |
| D |
And then I l | ook into my nephew’s eyes |
Am |
Man, you wouldn’t believe |
C | Am | D |
The most amazing things | that can come f | rom |
C | G | C | G |
The other n | ight, you wouldn’t believe the dr | eam I just had ab | out you and me |
C | G | D |
I called you up, but we’d b | oth agree | |
C | G | C | G |
It’s for the | best you didn’t l | isten | |
C | G | D |
It’s for the | best we get our d | istance, oh |
Am |
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind |
Cmaj7 | F |
But there was something so pleasant about that pl | ace |
Even your emotions had an echo
Am |
And when you’re out there, without care |
| Cmaj7 |
Yeah, I was out of touch | |
| F |
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know eno | ugh |
| Esus4 | E |
I just knew too much | | |
| Am |
Does that make me | crazy? |
| Cmaj7 |
Does that make me | crazy? |
| F |
Does that make me | crazy? |
A | F |
And I hope that you are having the time of your l | ife |
| Cmaj7 | Esus4 | E |
But think tw | ice, that’s my only advic | e, | mmm |
Am | Cmaj7 |
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you a | re |
| F |
Ha ha ha, bless your so | ul |
| Esus4 | E |
You really think you’re in cont | rol | |
| Am |
Well, I think you’ | re crazy |
| Cmaj7 |
I think you’re cra | zy |
A | F |
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a | limb |
| Cmaj7 | Esus4 | E |
And all I re | member is thinking, I wanna be like t | hem, | mmmm |
Am | Cmaj7 |
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fu | n |
| F |
And it’s no coincidence I’ve co | me |
| Esus4 | E |
And I can die when I’m d | one | |
Am | G |
Now and t | hen I think of |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
When we | were toge | ther | | | |
Am | G |
Like when you | said you felt so |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Happy yo | u could di | e | | | |
Am | G | Am | G |
Told mys | elf that you were | right for | me |
Am | G | Am | G |
But felt so | lonely in your | company | |
Am | G |
But that was | love and it’s an |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Ache I st | ill remem | ber | | | |
Am | G |
You can get ad | dicted to a |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Certain | kind of s | adness | | | |
Am | G | Am |
Like resign | ation to the | end |
G | Am | G | Am | G |
Always the | end | | | |
Am | G | Am | G |
So when we | found that we could | not make | sense |
Am | G | Am | G |
Well you | said that we would | still be fr | iends |
Am | G |
But I’ll ad | mit that I was |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Glad that | it was o | ver | | | |
Am | G | F | G |
But you | didn’t have to | cut me | off |
Am | G | F |
Make out | like it never | happened |
| G | Am |
And that | we were not | hing |
| G | F | G |
And | I don’t even | need your | love |
| Am | G |
But you | treat me like a | stranger |
| F | G |
And that | feels so | rough |
Am | G | F | G |
No you d | idn’t have to st | oop so | low |
Am | G | F |
Have your fr | iends collect your | records |
| G | Am |
And then | change your n | umber |
| G | F | G |
I g | uess that I don’t | need that | though |
Am | G | F | G |
Now you’re just someb | ody that I | used to | know |
Am | G | F | G |
Am | G | F | G |
Now you’re just someb | ody that I | used to | know |
Am | G | F | G |
Am | G | F | G |
Now you’re just someb | ody that I | used to | know |
Am | G |
Now and | then I think of |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
All the times you scr | ewed me o | ver | | | |
Am | G |
But had me bel | ieving it was |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Always something | that I’d d | one | | | |
G |
And I don’t wanna live that way |
G |
Reading into every word you say |
G |
You said that you could let it go |
G |
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know |
Am | G | F | G |
But you | didn’t have to | cut me | off |
Am | G | F |
Make out | like it never | happened |
| G | Am |
And that | we were no | thing |
| G | F | G |
And | I don’t even | need your | love |
| Am | G |
But you | treat me like a | stranger |
| F | G |
And that | feels so | rough |
Am | G | F | G |
No you d | idn’t have to st | oop so | low |
Am | G | F |
Have your fr | iends collect your | records |
| G | Am |
And then | change your n | umber |
| G | F | G |
I g | uess that I don’t | need that | though |
Am | G | F | G |
Now you’re just someb | ody that I | used to | know |

Well I ain’t n | ever been the Barbie doll type |
No I can’t swig that sweet champagne
I'd rather drink beer all night

In a t | avern, or in a honky-tonk |
Or on a four-wheel drive tailgate

I’ve got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid, and Strait |

Some pe | ople look down on me, but I don’t give a rip |

I’ll s | tand bare-footed in my own front yard |
With a baby on my hip

‘Cause I’m a | redneck woman |
I ain’t no high-class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say hey y'all and yee-haw

And I ke | ep my Christmas lights on |
On my front porch all year long

And | I know all the words to |
Every Charlie Daniels song

Out there keeping it country

From the | redneck girls like | me |

Victoria’s Secret, well their stuff’s real nice |
Oh but I can buy the same damn thing
On a Walmart shelf half-price
| D |
And still look | sexy, just as sexy, as those models on TV |
| A |
No, I | don’t need no designer tag |
To make my man want me
E7 |
You might think I’m trashy, a little too hard-core |
| D |
But | in my neck of the woods, I’m just the girl next door |

Hey I’m a | redneck woman |
I ain’t no high-class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say hey y'all and yee-haw

With a big black horse and a cherry tree

I | felt a little fear upon my back |
I said, don’t look back, just keep on walking

So I stopped it dead for a beat or two

But I | cut some cord, and I shouldn’t have done it |
And it won’t forgive me after all these years

So I | sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere |
With a big black horse and a cherry tree

It | doesn’t even matter how hard you try |
F |
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme |

All I kno | w, time is a valuable thing |
G |
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings |
F |
Watch it count down to the end of the day |

The clock t | icks life away |

It’s so unr | eal, didn’t look out below |

Watch the time go right out the window |

Watch you | go, I kept everything inside |

I’m surprised it got so ( | far) |
Am |
Things aren’t the way they were before |
G |
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore |
F |
Not that you knew me back then but |

It a | ll comes back to me |

In the | end you kept everything inside |

And even | though I tried, it all fell apart |

I’ve | cussed on a Sunday |
| G | D |
I’ve | cheated, and I’ve l | ied |
| D |
I’ve | fallen down from grace |
| D |
But I | find holy redemption |
| G | D |
When I | put this car in | drive |
| D | A | G | D |
Roll the | windows down and, | turn up the | dial | |
| D |
Feels like the | holy ghost running through ya |
| A |
When I | play the highway FM |
G | Bm |
Singing every single | verse |
G | D | A | D |
Yeah I | guess that’s | my | church |
| D |
When | Hank brings the sermon |
G | D |
And Cash leads the | choir |
| D |
It | gets my cold cold heart burning |
A |
Hotter than a ring of fire |
| D |
When this | wonderful world gets heavy |
| G | Bm |
And I | need to find my e | scape |
| D | A |
I just k | eep the wheels rolling, | radio scrolling |
| G | D |
‘T | il my sins wash a | way |
| D |
Feels like the | holy ghost running through ya |
| A |
When I | play the highway FM |
G | Bm |
Singing every single | verse |
G | D | A | D |
Yeah I | guess that’s | my | church |

G | Bm |
Singing every single | verse |
G | D | A | D |

Hey can I get a | hallelujah |
| D |
Feels like the | holy ghost running through ya |
| A |
When I | play the highway FM |
G | Bm |
Singing every single | verse |
G | D | A | Bm |
Yeah I | guess that’s | my | church |

Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire
A | C#7 |
And every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad | news |
| D |
You called them crazy, god, I hate the way I called them crazy | too, you’re so convincing |
| Dm |
How do you | lie without flinching (How do you lie? How do you lie? How do you lie?) |
A | C#7 |
Oh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing, messed up little | thrill |
| D |
Can’t figure out just how you do it and god knows I never | will, went for me and not her |
| Dm |
‘Cause | girls your age know better |
| Bm |
I’ve made some | real big mistakes |
| E7 |
But you make the | worst one look fine |
| A |
I should’ve | known it was strange |
| C#7 |
You only | come out at night |
| D |
I used to | think I was smart |
| Dm |
But you made me | look so naive |
| A |
The way you | sold me for parts |
| C#7 |
As you sunk your | teeth into me, oh |
D | Dm |
Bloodsucker, | dream crusher |
Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire
D |
You said it was true love |
Dm |
But wouldn’t that be hard |
| E |
‘Cause | that would mean you had a heart |
D |
I tried to help you out |
Dm |
Now I know that I can’t |
A | E |
‘Cause how you think’s the kind of | thing |
| D | Dm | A | E |
I’ll never under | stand | | | |
| Bm |
I’ve made some | real big mistakes |

You felt the weight of the world |
Fall off your shoulder

And to your favorite | song |
We sang along to the start of forever

Our | friends would all make fun of us |

Do I | ever cross your mind? |

Darlin’, do you | ever see |
Some situation somewhere, somehow

What became of | all the time? | |

Honey, | do I ever, | ever cross your | mind? |

Do you | ever want to know |

Do all dreams go on | endlessly? |
Or do they just run down somehow

And gradually become a | custody |

Of that | melancholy jailer | |

For all the | time, | oh no |

You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug |
Am |
You can be the outcast |
Am |
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love |
F | G | C |
Or | you can start speaking up | |
C |
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do |
C |
And they settle ‘neath your skin |
Am |
Kept on the inside and no sunlight |
Am |
Sometimes a shadow wins |
F | G |
But I | wonder what would happen if you |
Am | F |
And let the words fall | out |

Honestly | I wanna see you be | brave |

With what you want to say |
Am | F |
And let the words fall | out |

Honestly | I wanna see you be | brave |

Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down |
Am | Am |
Fallen for the fear and done some disap | pearing |
Am |
Bow down to the mighty |
F | G |
Don’t run, | stop holding your tongue |
C |
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live |
Am |
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in |
F | G |
Show me | how big your brave is |
Am | F |
And let the words fall | out |
| G | C |
Honestly | I wanna see you be | brave |
C |
With what you want to say |
Am | F |
And let the words fall | out |
| G | Am |
Honestly | I wanna see you be | brave |
Am | C |
And since your | history of silence |
C/E | F |
Won’t do you | any good |
C/E | F |
Did you th | ink it would? |
Am | C |
Let your words be | anything but empty |
G |
Why don’t you tell them the truth? |
Am | F |
And let the words fall | out |

Honestly | I wanna see you be | brave |

You had your chance to run and hide

On a | long and lonesome highway east of Omaha |
| D |
You can | listen to the engine, moanin’ out its one note song |
| A | Em |
You can | think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night | before |
| Em |
And your | thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do |
| D |
When you’re | riding sixteen hours and there’s nothing much to do |
| A | Em |
You | don’t feel much like writing, you just wish the trip was through | |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |

Here I | am, up on | stage |

Here I | go, playing the | star again |

There I | go, | turn the | page |
Em |
You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road |
| D |
And you | feel the eyes upon you, as you’re shaking off the cold |
| A | Em |
You | pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to | explode |
Em |
Sometimes you can hear ‘em talk, other times you can’t |
| D |
And it’s all the | same cliches is that a woman or a man |
| A | Em |
And you | always seem outnumbered, you don’t dare make a | stand |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |
| D | Em |
Here I | am, up on | stage |
| D | A |
Here I | go, playing the | star again |
| C | D | Em |
There I | go, | turn the | page |
Em |
Out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away |
D |
Every ounce of energy you try to give away |
| A | Em |
And the | sweat pours out your body like the music that you | play |
Em |
Later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed |
| D |
The | echoes of the amplifiers ringin’ in your head |
| A | Em |
And you | smoke the day’s last cigarette, remembering what she said | |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |
| D | Em |
Here I | am, up on | stage |
