Heck Of A Song

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
             G               Bm
Nothin' but time here on my hands
           A
And these steel strings on my fingertips
        G                  Bm
I press my mouth up to the mic
            A
Wish I was kissin' on your sweet red lips

         G
And the hard part about leavin'
        Bm                             A   A
Is that I can't lie that I love bein' gone

              Em
'Cause I'm addicted to the dream
                G                      D  G D
And heartaches make for one heck of a song


CHORUS:
                G                         Bm
Dirt roads and highways, truck stops and cafes
                 A
Long stretch of highwire and little white lines
             G                            Bm
Sawdust and dance halls, first shots and last calls
             A
Beneath the glow of all those neon signs

           Em
Yeah, I'm runnin' down a melody
        G
To give it the words and set it free
     D                          A
And tryin' not to write it all wrong

              Em
I just wanna livе the kinda life
              G                      D   G D
That's gonna make for onе heck of a song


VERSE:
           G              Bm
Like that one time out in A
            A
Me and the boys went out for the night
              G                  Bm
And old Hollywood and his three friends
             A
Came in the Troubadour lookin' for a fight

            G
So we went out back to the alley
           Bm                               A
And let's just say that it didn't take too long

            Em
I guess we could have walked away
                G                      D  G D
But that don't make for one heck of a song


CHORUS:
                G                         Bm
Dirt roads and highways, truck stops and cafes
                 A
Long stretch of highwire and little white lines
             G                            Bm
Sawdust and dance halls, first shots and last calls
             A
Beneath the glow of all those neon signs

           Em
Yeah, I'm runnin' down a melody

Yeah, I keep howlin' at the moon and shootin' for the stars
   D                              A
Along this lonely road of broken dreams and passin' cars
          Em                              G
Of those hard lessons learned, one thing I've found that's true
          D                             F#m
When I'm followin' my heart, it always leads me back to you
