♫ Verse 1:
    E                                     A
I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
  C#m                            B
I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl
E                          A
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
    C#m                            B
The thing about a long rope is you can’t hold on too tight

♫ Interlude:
E A C#m B

♫ Verse 2:
E                             A
Wooden floors and coffee cups stepped on and all used up
      C#m                            B
But I reckon that’s what morning are for
    E                                         A
And everyone thinks they know me now in these close minded leave me towns
    C#m                          B
But I’m too young to even know myself

♫ Chorus:
        E      B                C#m
There’s wheels running down the interstate
A              E               B                C#m  A
Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you
        E    B              C#m
There’s time ticking on the interstate
    A           E           B         C#m  A
And Lord I hate that I ain’t close to you

♫ Interlude:
E B C#m A

♫ Verse 3:
    E                               A
And all my friends have moved away, some got jobs and some got saveds
     C#m                             B
They talk to me like I am still that kid
    E                               A
The fighting, fiendin Okie son, the restless, reckless, hopeful one
    C#m                             B
Who once was proud of everything he did

♫ Verse 4:
   E               A
Do you remember 25 long legs and loving time
C#m                     B
Seems like 10 lifetimes ago
    E                                     A
I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
  C#m                            B
I love you and I’m willing but I really have to go

♫ Chorus:
        E      B                C#m
There’s wheels running down the interstate
A              E               B                C#m  A
Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you
        E    B              C#m             A
There’s time ticking on the interstate, I'm fighting fate
    E                B                C#m  Á
And Lord I hate that I ain’t close to you

♫ Interlude:
E B C#m A

Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
