Bad Directions chords by California

Chords with lyrics

G+G
I always take the back roads
     G+G
Leave the traffic to everyone else
E minorEm   D MajorD    C majorC
I can't take the clamor of the crowd
   C majorC    C/BC/B  D MajorD
I'll take the scenic route
       G+G
Talkin' on tomorrow
 G+G
Tonight's only halfway done
 E minorEm    D MajorD   C majorC
I never was to be hurried about
C majorC    C/BC/B    D MajorD
Please, just slow down

   C majorC         C/BC/B      A minorAm
And I know we all start out with bad directions
C majorC          C/BC/B        A minorAm
Don't give up, 'til now we've made it through
     B minorBm         E minorEm
'Cause it makes you more like them
    B minorBm          E minorEm
When you give them what they want
  B minorBm   A#mA#m  A minorAm
The need to please them
   D MajorD
Is to belong


        G+G
Boom box on the dashboard
  G+G
St. Christopher on a chain
E minorEm   D MajorD      C majorC
Head up north, back east, down south
  C majorC     C/BC/B   D MajorD
Out West we'll drive it down
       G+G
Roads turn to gravel
G+G
Some are paved quite well
     E minorEm   D MajorD        C majorC
Some are even at odds with their address now
C majorC      C/BC/B  D MajorD
Caught in a roundabout


   C majorC         C/BC/B      A minorAm
And I know we all start out with bad directions
C majorC          C/BC/B        A minorAm
Don't give up, 'til now we've made it through
     B minorBm         E minorEm
'Cause it makes you more like them
    B minorBm          E minorEm
When you give them what they want
  B minorBm   A#mA#m  A minorAm
The need to please them
         D MajorD
Is just what they want

Solo:
G+G   G+G  G+G  G+G
E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC
C   C/BC/B D MajorD


          G+G
Take the road less traveled
  G+G
And fold all the maps away
    E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC
Put it all in that unfinished novel someday
 C majorC    C/BC/B D MajorD
A augmentedA postcard, anyway
D MajorD
Anyway...


   C majorC         C/BC/B      A minorAm
And I know we all start out with bad directions
C majorC        C/BC/B      A minorAm
We get lost, somehow we make it through
     C majorC        C/BC/B
'Cause I may not know my streets
       A minorAm
But I know my directions
   C majorC         C/BC/B      D MajorD
Come on, we'll go out across these avenues


End on:
G+G
