D
Run your car off the side of the road
G/B G D G/B G
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
D G/B
Get yourself in a bind, lose your shirt off your back
G D G/B G
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare
This is where the rubber meets the road
A
This is where the cream is gonna rise
G
This is what you really didn't know
A
This is where the truth don't lie
D
You find out who your friends are
G
Somebody's gonna drop everything
D
Run out and crank up their car
A Em
Hit the gas, get there fast
G Bm7
Never stop to think, 'What's in it for me?'
A
Or, 'It's way too far.'
G
They just show on up
A
With their big ol' heart
D G/B G
You find out who your friends are 
D
Everybody wants to slap your back,
G/B G D G/B G
Wants to shake your hand when you're up on top of that mountain
D G/B
But let one of those rocks give way, then you slide back down
G D G/B G
Look up and see who's around then
This ain't where the road comes to an end
A
This ain't where the band wagon stops
G
This is just one of those times when
A
A lot of folks jump off
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
G
When the water's high
D
When the weather's not so bad
A
When the well runs dry
N.C.
Who's gonna be there?
Repeat Chorus
D G/B G
You find out who your friends are
D
Run your car off the side of the road
G/B G
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of
D G/B G
nowhere, man I've been there
D G/B
Get yourself in a bind, lose your shirt off your back
G D
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare,
G/B G D
Man, I've been there
G/B G
Man, I've been there
