intro C# Fm F# G# 
 
C# Like the rocks that line this Fm road I drive 
My F# words might a have seemed so G# hard 
C# But not a one was Fm penned unkind 
They were F# pieces of my G# heart 
C# A weak attempt to Fm explain some things 
That were F# weighting on my G# mind 
C# Now I find my Fm biggest crime 
Was F# keeping too much too G# long inside 
C# Judging by my Fm gages  
I need to F# think about finding G# gas 
C# But my minds been Fm more than full 
Thinking F# of you as the miles role G# past 
 
Chorus: 
F# I'm rolling down this G# highway 
Trying to get a C# handle G#/C on Bm events 
With F# one hand on the G# steering wheel 
C# And one hand G#/C on the Bm wind F#G#  
F# I hope it all made G# sense 
Fm I hope it all made some C# sense 
 
insturmental: 
 
C# I thought it would be Fm better 
If I'd F# paint my thoughts with G# ink 
C# It seems my mouth don't Fm work so well 
F# Expressing what I G# think 
C# Like the gravel on the Fm road 
Kicked F# up by the passing G# trucks 
C# Words fly Fm back in my face 
And crack the F# windshields I put G# up 
 
Repeat chorus: 
 
C# I would like nothing Fm better  
Than for F# this to have worked out G# right 
C# That's why I left that Fm letter 
On your F# car the other G# night 
C# Now it seems so Fm high school 
But it seemed F# so right at the G# time 
C# You get a letter on your Fm windshield 
F# I get away behind G# mine 
 
Repeat chorus:
