Verse 1:
Am
The more things change
Dm
The more they stay the same
Am
And the more it rains
Em
The less I know
Am Dm Am Em
Why do these foreign skies change the way home?
Am
Why do these hotel walls hang their strangeness on my own?
Chorus:
C F D Am
Oh mama, I'm gonna roll
C F Dm Am
With a truckload of hurt (Truckload of hurt)
C F D Am
These wheels have rolled across I don't know
C F Am
How many bags of dirt
Verse 2:
Am Dm
Barefoot in the back of the van tossing an arcing empty soda can
Am Em
Long ways, long days, waitresses frayed and underpaid
Am Dm Am
We were harried and waylaid
We arrived in the evening
Em
and not a moment too soon
Am Dm Am Em
Finding the place it was, you may say, cool
Chorus:
C F D Am
Oh mama, I'm gonna roll
C F Dm Am
With a truckload of hurt (Truckload of hurt)
C F D Am
These wheels have rolled across I don't know
C F Am
How many bags of dirt

Verse 3:
Am Dm
These sketches of an infinite architecture are ink and unconfirmed conjecture
Am Em
A dream glimpse of the puppeteer's knuckle
Am Dm
A fragment of a fraction of a gesture
Am Em Am
And when the ghost whispers, I'll set down all I hear
Dm Am Em
A garbled, shorthand outline by a marionette in fear
Chorus:
C F D Am
Oh mama, I'm gonna roll
C F Dm Am
With a truckload of hurt (Truckload of hurt)
C F D Am
These wheels have rolled across I don't know
C F Am
How many bags of dirt
Chorus:
C F D Am
Oh mama, I'm gonna roll
C F Dm Am
With a truckload of hurt (Truckload of hurt)
C F D Am
These wheels have rolled across I don't know
C F Am
How many bags of dirt
