♫ Verse 1:
E MajorE A augmentedA
Wake up again in a old motel, is it somewhere different I can’t tell
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
Every set of curtains opens to the open road
A augmentedA
And I’m missing you like hell, this van is like a prison cell
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
And I know you have gone with her and I can’t go back home

♫ Verse 2:
E MajorE A augmentedA
I should get some rest today then pack my bags, be on my way
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
But my minds always working on the way it could have been
A augmentedA
Trying to tow a tight rope line, find a way to feel half fine
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
Without drowning in this wine, and calling you again

E MajorE A augmentedA
I’m losing touch with all my friends, the ones who remind me who I am
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
If I could just get back home to pick up where we left off
A augmentedA
I’d take better care of myself, I’d stop drinking from the bottom shelf
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
But my old wheels keep spinning and I cannot make them stop

So, I get back home and try to be someone that’s something like me
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
But, I’ve forgotten all my angels out here in the wind
A augmentedA
Sitting out here with my mind I meditate to pass the time
BB A augmentedA 
C# minorC#m
But there’s something inside setting sail all over again
