It runs in the family
Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC
but it aint in our blood
E minor 7Em7 G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
at the heart of our home is a soldier
E minor 7Em7 G+G
and a bar at the side
Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC
of the road is enough
E minor 7Em7 G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
for a house made of legos and mortar

E minor 7Em7 C majorC
on the raw nerves of our hearts

fight like hell
lie and cheat

you were never homeless

send your revenge on the wire

Bridge:
G+G
back on the highway
C majorC
driving all hours

roadhouse ahead and a scrapyard behind

lights take it all
Cadd9Cadd9
till nothing reminds you
anymore
