Sooner or later, no matter what somebody has to lose

I'll be on the road and you're going to school down in Baton Rouge

And I promise you the world my love, but what's the use?
But what's the use?
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
I can't explain
How it feels like we have it all
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm

And I promise you the world, my love, but we can't stay
