Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

    C majorC            G+G
I was a selfish young man when I lost my granddaddy

A minorAm           FF           C majorC  G+G
 Fell in love to the B-side of "Shootenanny!"

     C majorC             G+G
Got more bottles than leaves on my family tree

   A minorAm              FF     C majorC  G+G
Late nights, early flights is the life for me

Pre-Chorus:

  FF      G+G
You burn by the fire

    FF       G+G
Or get choked by the smoke

     C majorC
Well, the thunder does the talking

    E MajorE
But the lightning does the work

   G+G
O-o-o-oh o-oh

Chorus:

G7G7    C majorC FF
Carry me home

           C majorC FF
I'm no good when I'm alone

           C majorC FF
I'm burned out to the bone

        G+G
Can't tell I'm cryin'

      G6G6
'Cause I'm stoned

      A minorAm       FF  C majorC
Dragging my love along the long road

Verse 2:

     C majorC          G+G
Get your shoes on, get in the car, get the lead out

  A minorAm           FF           C majorC  G+G
Get over yourself, get everything you need set out

  C majorC            G+G
One hand on the heater, the other flippin' the radio

A minorAm              FF           C majorC  G+G
Full moon fever, full cup of coffee on an open road

Pre-Chorus 2:

    FF      G+G
But the sun's coming up

    FF      G+G
Hits my heart like a drug

   C majorC
When all my wasted efforts

  E MajorE
Are piled in a truck

   G+G
O-o-o-oh o-oh

Chorus:

G7G7    C majorC FF
Carry me home

           C majorC FF
I'm no good when I'm alone

           C majorC FF
I'm burned out to the bone

        G+G
Can't tell I'm cryin'

'Cause I'm stoned

Dragging my love along the long road

Verse 3:

      C majorC               G+G
Before the same old tricks, fell for the lie, fell from grace

   A minorAm           FF           C majorC  G+G
Fell far behind, fell out of time, fell out of place

    C majorC                 G+G
Falling backwards, fell over, fell off the face of the earth

     A minorAm          FF              C majorC    G+G
Fell in a bucket of luck, arms flailing, free falling face first, mhmm

Pre-Chorus 3:

    FF       G+G
But at night we were free

    FF      G+G
Mirror pond on the sea

  C majorC
I'm lookin' out for you

    E MajorE
Are you lookin' out on me?

  G+G
O-o-oh oh
