Chords with lyrics

Intro:
A augmentedA


Chorus:

A augmentedA
I'm a-high steppin', high bettin'

Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'

                     D MajorD
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wheels

E MajorE
Overnightin' on the desert strip

Makin' time and losin' grip

                   A augmentedA
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind

Verse 1:

 A augmentedA
I'm an outsider lookin' in

I got a perfect square for a circle of friends

                     D MajorD
It's the four of us against the rest of you

E MajorE
But really I am all alone

I'd sell 'em out to save my own

                      A augmentedA
I told them that but they don't buy the truth


Chorus:

A augmentedA
I'm a-high steppin', high bettin'

Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'

                      D MajorD
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wheels

E MajorE
Overnightin' on the desert strip

Makin' time and losin' grip

                   A augmentedA
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind

Interlude:

N.C.
Well it's warfare out there, folks

You're either working for success

Or to be rich or, God help us, famous

N.C.
Or you're working against the clock just to stay afloat

Got your nose all scraped up from the grindstone

You're digging for diamonds and only finding rhinestones

N.C.
Meanwhile it's August and the tax man has never heard of summer vacation

You're either working on yourself or you're lookin' after babies

Takin' care of your old man or your old lady

N.C.
And the direct line to the hospital just says "Leave a message"

See, you can only live one day at a time

Only drive one hot rod at a time

N.C.
Only say one word at a time

And only think one thought at a time

And every soul is alone when the day becomes night

N.C.
And there in the dark if you can try to see the light

In the most pitch black shape of the loneliest shadow

Well then you ought to sleep well

N.C.
'Cause there's hope for sure

Well I don't know about all that being true but

I do know this


Verse 2:

D MajorD           A augmentedA
The best beggars are choosers

D MajorD           A augmentedA
The best winners are losers

D MajorD        E MajorE         A augmentedA
The best lovers ain't never been loved

D MajorD           A augmentedA
And first place ain't easy

D MajorD         A augmentedA
The hard part is believing

D MajorD           E MajorE
The very last word is love


Chorus:

A augmentedA
I'm a-high steppin', high bettin'

Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'

                      D MajorD
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wheels

E MajorE
Overnightin' on the desert strip

Makin' time and losin' grip

                   A augmentedA
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind
