The Road

[Intro ]
G  D  G  D  C 

 
         C                   G                      D 
With the sun shining off the snow on Shasta's peak 
  Em          D         C 
I smile as my dad tells me 
          G                            D 
He and my mom hiked those hills to the east 
      Em                D   C 
Fifty-somethings on the PCT 
 

 
           G 
Green pine trees 
                 D 
And towns called Weed 
               Em              D7       C 
And rocks with art callin' for fires to cease 
       G                       Dsus   D 
I-Five North, I'm just in-between 
N.C. 
And I'm happy to 
 

 
G  D    G  D   C 
Be here on the road 
G    D   G     D  C 
Have somewhere to go 
 

 
      G 
Oh, I went to my first Dutch Bros 
D 
Wished it was first Wednesday 
Am 
Cried as I passed Portland 
C 
Reasons that I won't say 
G 
Fine, let it spill 
          D 
It's more wonder than regret 
  Am 
I loved a girl two hundred days 
         C 
And only with her watched one sunset 
 

 
          G                      D 
Sometimes I can't take this love 
              Am 
It f**** me up 
                      C 
It makes me feel rough 
               G 
Like sugar does 
                      D 
And my blood's so sweet 
                 Am 
And it burns to bleed 
                 C 
But I'm glad I breathe 

And I'm happy to 
 

 
G  D    G  D   C 
Be here on the road 
G    D   G     D  C 
Have somewhere to go 
D4(9)  
Grateful to fall in love 
     N.C. 
Even if love's not what I thought it was 

{Instrumental} 
G   D   Am  C 
G   D   Am  C 
 

 
         Am                   
Oh, this world wraps around us 
Em 
Rich and uncontained 
Am                   
Faces face onwards 
Em 
Each and every way 
Am                            
There's so much I wanna wander 
   Bm 
My god I love this life 
       C                            
I'm so grateful for getting tired  
            D7 
or else I'd never close my eyes 
    G                       
And when I finally die  
         D 
Throw me into a volcano 
     Am                      
I'll be more at peace 
        C  
When my body can't be labelled 
Am                    D7                      
On my way back to the cradle 
                      Em 
I'll pass through the mantle 
                  D 
That's where I'll dismantle 
    D5 
I'm grateful to 
 

 
G  D    G      C 
Be here on the road 
G    D   G     D  C 
Have somewhere to go 
A              C 
Be here on the road 
D4(9) 
I don't know where it goes, but I know that I'll always find home
