Verse 1:

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

Am                     F                     C   G
 Fell in love to the B-side of "Shootenanny!"

         C                         G
Got more bottles than leaves on my family tree

     Am                           F          C   G
Late nights, early flights is the life for me

Pre-Chorus:

    F           G
You burn by the fire

       F             G
Or get choked by the smoke

          C
Well, the thunder does the talking

        E
But the lightning does the work

      G
O-o-o-oh o-oh

G7       C  F
Carry me home

                      C  F
I'm no good when I'm alone

                      C  F
I'm burned out to the bone

               G
Can't tell I'm cryin'

           G6
'Cause I'm stoned

            Am             F    C
Dragging my love along the long road

Verse 2:

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

    Am                      F                     C   G
Get over yourself, get everything you need set out

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

Am                           F                     C   G
Full moon fever, full cup of coffee on an open road

Pre-Chorus 2:

        F            G
But the sun's coming up

        F            G
Hits my heart like a drug

     C
When all my wasted efforts

    E
Are piled in a truck

      G
O-o-o-oh o-oh

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

     Am                      F                      C   G
Fell far behind, fell out of time, fell out of place

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

          Am                   F                           C       G
Fell in a bucket of luck, arms flailing, free falling face first, mhmm

Pre-Chorus 3:

       F             G
But at night we were free

       F           G
Mirror pond on the sea

I'm lookin' out for you

Are you lookin' out on me?

O-o-oh oh

I'm burned out to the bone

Can't tell I'm cryin'

           G6
'Cause I'm stoned

            Am             F    C
Dragging my love along the long road

Ah-ah, long road
