verse 1 
G 
I got a cracked windshield and Mardi Gras beads 
G 
Some trucker hats and old hotel keys 
         D                       G           C 
We got a dash, full of trash and other bands CD's 
      G                      D          G 
Got a cracked windshield and Mardi Gras beads 

G 
Breaking points and broken guitar strings 
G 
We bet big and we lost everything 
          D                   G                C 
Damn near wasted all our 20's chasing down a dream 
              G                   D             G 
Now we're all breaking points and broken guitar strings 


          C                  G 
We ain't ever gonna make it, like I thought we would 
   C                                       D 
So why can't we just pack it up and say we did the best we could 
  G                             G         D          C 
I used to be a decent man, then life just took its toll 
                                               G 
Now I'm just a casualty of rock and roll 


C  G     C  G      C  G     C  G 

verse 2 

G 
Closing time and opening bands 
G 
A different town, same old one night stands 
        D                                  G          C 
Another midnight muse in cowboy boots with X's on her hands 
G                D       G 
Closing time and opening bands 

G 
It's like playing a game you know you'll never win 
G 
You're down to your last hand and you're all in 
       D                                               G                   C 
Then a turn of luck and you double up, just to bet it all again 
              G                 D                   G 
You see we're playing a game we know we'll never win. 


          C                  G 
We ain't ever gonna make it, like I thought we would 
   C                                       D 
So why can't we just pack it up and say we did the best we could 
                 G                        G         D     C 
I shoulda been a doctor or a lawyer, or a policeman on patrol 
                                              G 
Instead I'm a casualty of rock and roll 

C  G   C  G    C  G    C  G 

verse 3 

G 
Tell my mama and my daddy that I tried 
G 
Tell all my friends and family goodbye 
            D                               G                    C 
'Cuz if the road is where you live boy, the road is where you'll die 
        G           D              G 
Tell my mama and my daddy that I tried 


         C                   G 
We ain't ever gonna make it, like I thought we would 
   C                                       D 
So why can't we just pack it up and say we did the best we could 
          G                         G           D         C 
I gave my heart to the highway, she returned it full of holes 
                                             G 
We're just casualties of rock and roll

C         G    C         G    C         G    C         G 
 Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll 
C         G    C         G    C         G 
 Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll
