The Road

G       G/F#        Em            C     C/B       Am
You write about the moon And you dream about the stars
G                   Gaug  G                Gaug
Blues in old motel rooms Girls in daddy's car
G       G/F#        Em            C     C/B          Am
You sing about the nights And you laugh about the scars
G                Gaug  G              Gaug
Coffee in the morning  cocaine afternoons
G       G/F#           Em          C    C/B         Am
You talk about the weather And you grin about the rooms
G                   Gaug   G                  Gaug
Phone calls long distance  To tell how you've been
G       G/F#        Em       C          C/B    Am
Forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins


[Chorus]
Em                Am7              A7              C
And when you stop to let 'em know  You've got it down
N.C   C   C/B      Am7   D7         G
it’s just another town along the road


[Instrumental]
G     Gaug    G        Gaug
G     G/F#             Em      C  C/B  Am
Em    Am7     A7       C
C     C/B     A7       D7      G
G     Gaug    G        Gaug


[Verse 2]
G                      Gaug  G                         Gaug
The ladies come to see you  If your name still rings a bell
G             G/F#      Em          C        C/B              Am
They give you damn near nothin' And they'll say they knew you well
G                      Gaug     G                        Gaug
So you tell 'em you remember   But they know it's just a game
    G         G/F#      Em        C        C/B       Am
And along the way their faces All begin to look the same


[Chorus]
Em                Am7              A7              C
And when you stop to let 'em know  You've got it down
N.C.  C   C/B      Am7   D7          G
it’s just another town along the road


[Verse 3]
G                     Gaug   G                   Gaug
Well it isn't for the money  And it's only for a while
G          G/F#       Em         C      C/B     Am
You stalk about the rooms And you roll away the miles
G               Gaug    G               Gaug
Gamblers in the neon,   clinging to guitars
G             G/F#     Em              C     C/B        Am
You're right about the moon But you're wrong about the stars


[Chorus]
Em                Am7              A7              C
And when you stop to let 'em know  You've got it down
N.C.  C    C/B    Am7    D7          G
it’s just another town along the road
