[Intro] D#m C# B A#7 D#m C# B A#7 [Verse 1]
           D#m
I've been standing here,

 C#                       B
Waiting for the bus on a Saturday.

A#7                        D#m
Laundry on my back, ultraviolet rays.

          C#                     B
Like I'm posing for a shot in a magazine,

         A#7
What the hell does it mean?

       D#m            C#
I'm a traveling man straight from the can,

       B                           A#7
I'm a thousand miles away from my number one fan.

              D#m                       C#
My folks are getting tight won't let me out at night,

            B
You can't avoid the complications,

       A#7                 G#m  C#
When there's no reason at all.

          F#                    D#m
When the lightning stikes we'll fry.

      B                 G#m
I'll drink my beer I'll wipe my tears,

  A#7
Southbound in the sky.
[Chorus]
                D#m    C#             B     A#7
Another crime another reason gets you everyday.

         D#m                C#
The only time that you can talk,

               B         A#7
You ain't got nothing to say.

           D#m             C#             B       A#7
Well, I'm caught up in a stupid game that I can't play.

            G#m               C#        A#7/D  D#m C# B A#7
It's just a waste of time but I'm in it any - way.
[Verse 2]
           D#m         C#
I've been sitting here watching the signs,

          B            A#7
Too many cars at night belching in the moonlight.

D#m                           C#
   We're doing ninety as the sky turns to gray,

            B             A#7
The people look like bees buzzing by the highway.
[Instrumental] D#m C# B A#7 D#m C# B A#7 D#m C# B A#7 G#m C# [Bridge]
      F#               D#m              B
The wheels are rolling like a rolling stone,

 G#/C      B                   A#7
Alone, I choose the road less traveled on.
[Verse 3]
         D#m
Now I'm lying here,

 C#                          B
Waiting for the day on the second deck.

 A#7                       D#m
Dreaming of a girl from a fairytale,

 C#                            B
Chain around my neck a ride is all it takes,

     A#7
But pains get in the way.

       D#m            C#
I'm a traveling man straight from the can,

       B                           A#7
I'm a thousand miles away from my number one fan.

              D#m                       C#
My folks are getting tight won't let me out at night,

            B
You can't avoid the complications,

       A#7                 G#m  C#
When there's no reason at all.

          F#                    D#m
When the lightning stikes we'll fry.

      B                 G#m
I'll drink my beer I'll wipe my tears,

  A#7
Southbound in the sky.
[Chorus]
                D#m    C#             B     A#7
Another crime another reason gets you everyday.

         D#m                C#

               B         A#7

           D#m             C#             B       A#7
Well, I'm caught up in a stupid game that I can't play.

            G#m             C#       A#7
It's just a waste of time, waste of time.
[Chorus]
                D#m    C#             B     A#7
Another crime another reason gets you everyday.

         D#m                C#
The only time that you can talk,

               B         A#7

           D#m             C#             B       A#7
Well, I'm caught up in a stupid game that I can't play.

            G#m               C#        A#7/D  D#m C# B
It's just a waste of time but I'm in it any - way.
[Coda]
A#7          D#m C# B
I'm in it anyway,

A#7      G#m  D#m
I'm in it anyway.
