Intro:
D   A   F#m   A   (x2)

Verse 1:
D            A
I used to think that this was my town
        F#m              A
What a stupid thing to think
D            A
I hear you're fighting off a breakdown
         F#m             A
I myself am on the brink
D             A
I used to want to be a real man
            F#m             A
I don't know what that even means
D              A
Now I just want you in my arms again
F#m             A
And we can search each other's dreams

Chorus:
Bm
I know you're tired
A                   E
And you ain't sleeping well
Bm
Uninspired
A                  E
And likely mad as hell
Bm
But wherever you are
A           E                         D
I hope the high road leads you home again

Verse 2:
D                        A
I've heard enough of the white man's blues
F#m                A
I've sang enough about myself
D                         A
So if you're looking for some bad news
F#m                    A
You can find it somewhere else
D                A
Last year was a son of a bitch
F#m             A
For nearly everyone we know
D                      A
But I ain't fighting with you down in a ditch
     F#m              A
I'll meet you up here on the road

Chorus:
Bm
I know you're tired
A                E
And you ain't sleeping well
Bm
Uninspired
A               E
And likely mad as hell
Bm
But wherever you are
A               E
I hope the high road leads you home again
                    D
To a world you want to live in

Bridge:
F#m
We'll ride the ship down
          A
Dumping buckets overboard
F#m
There can't be more of them than us
E                D
There can't be more

Chorus:
Bm
I know you're tired
A                 E
And you ain't sleeping well
Bm
Uninspired
A              E
And likely mad as hell
Bm
But wherever you are
A                 E
I hope the high road leads you home again
                       D
