This is basically the acoustic version from the "Christians and the Pagans" EP. (G)(A)(D)(G)(A)(D) Have I got every(G)thing? (A)Am I ready to (D)go? Is it going to be (G)wild, is it gonna be the (A)best time? Or (Bm)am I just a-(Bm/A)saying so-o-o-(G)o? (A)Am I ready to (D)go? What do I (G)hear when I say I (A)hear the call of the (D)road? I think it started with (Bm)driving, (Bm/A)more speed, (G)more (A)deals, more (Em)sky, more (A)wheels More (Bm)things to (Bm/A)leave be(G)hind, (A)now it's all in a (D)day for the modern mind And I am (G)traveling (A)ag(D)ain Calling this a (G)ghost town, (A)and where is the (Bm)heartland? And (Bm/A)I'm af(G)raid, oh, (A)was there any good (Bm)reason, that I (Bm/A)had to go When all I (A)know is I can never come (Bm)back. (Bm/A)(G)(A)(D) Traveling I made a (G)friend, (A)he had a trouble in his (D)head And all he could (G)say's that he knew that the (A)bottle (Bm)Drank the woman (Bm/A)from his (G)bed, (A)from his (D)bed He said (G)"I'm not gonna (A)lose that way ag(D)ain." But sober is just like (Bm)driving, (Bm/A)more joy, (G)more (A)dread, someone (Em)turns her (A)head And (Bm)smiles and (Bm/A)disapp(G)ears (A) He's gotta take it like it (D)is, and it goes too fast And he is (G)just like (A)me, caught (G)in-bet(A)ween, no (Bm)sage advisor (Bm/A) Does (G)weary mean wiser? (G/F#) And (Em)someday will I (Bm)sing the mountains that (G)carried me away away (G/F#)From (Em)home and hometown boys like (A)you? (A7 - played 002223) Yeah, but what about (G)us? (A)Was it really that (D)bad? Oh it's hard to (G)believe I want a highway (A)roadstop (Bm)More than all the (Bm/A)times we (G)had, (A)on little (D)dirt roads What am I (G)reaching for that's (A)better than a hand to (D)hold? It really was about (Bm)driving, (Bm/A)not fame, (G)not (A)wealth, Not driving (Em)away from (A)myself It's just my(Bm)self drove (Bm/A)away from (G)me (A) And now I gotta get it (D)back and it goes so fast, so I am (G)traveling (A)ag(D)ain Sitting at the (G)all-nite, (A)picking up a (Bm)pen And (Bm/A)I'm af(G)raid, oh, (A)was there any good (Bm)reason That (Bm/A)I had to (G)go, when all I (A)know is I am (G)all alone (A)ag(D)ain And you are the (G)ghost town, (A)and I am the (Bm)heartland And (Bm/A)I can (G)say, oh, (A)that's a very good (Bm)reason That (Bm/A)I had to (G)go, but now all I (A)know is I can never come (Bm)back (Bm/A) (G)And I (A)will never go (D)back. (G)(A)(D)
