Capo IV
Intro: G  Em  C  D . . . G  Em  C  D 
 
          Em                  C 
Well it's half my heart and a little bit of soul 
     G                     D 
That makes me feel I wanna 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 
It won't leave me at home and I am 
Em           C              G      D  
Too tired to do just what I should  
C                D                G    G/F#    Em   
And last night I asked if I could take comfort in the rosewood 
C                        D 
The road said nothing at all 
          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                 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 
And it all goes away on the other side of town 
G                   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  
And always moving suits me fine 
Em            C             G     D   
I'll catch my breath when I sleep  
C         D                  G       G/F#        Em  
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
