G           G
There was a man on the road about an hour ago

              Am
he was looking for a ride to New Mexico

         C                          G
he was drivin' by, way too fast to know

    G
We got to the place on a high-speed chase

           Am
seen my girlie in the corner with the plastic face

C                                 G
and then she disappeared with a trace. I said without a trace
[Sax Solo - same chords as intro] G x2 Am x2 C x2 G x2 [Verse 2]
       G
Now we're sitting back sipping some beers

          Am
There's a man telling stories about his inner fears

C                               G
He was all choked up and close to tears

      G
So I moved on over to a couple of Margaritas

  Am
I made a couple faces at a couple of senoritas

C                                            G
playing drinking games, but she too young to be with me.
[Chorus]
             G
So now my, car broke down 'bout an hour ago

          Am
We were, headed on down to New Mexico

       C                          G
where we, did not see, the gas was low

                      G
Hey yeah the gas was low, the gas was low,

            Am
the gas so low, so low

            C                             G
I lost my soul somewhere on the road

G
but ima gonna get back real soon.
[Piano solo - same progression as the intro] [single strums quieter] G x2 Am x2 C x2 G x2 [Verse 3]
          G
I've been chasing footsteps for years

Am
been running around in circles for years

C                            G
chasing my tail looking for answers to questions that I never heard

G
It's a wide-open world trying to find it

Am
It's a wide-open sky but its light is blinding

C
It's raining down on me

G
Slowing me down But I keep on goin'

G
And I know I recognize this man walking in front of me

Am
When he turned around and locked eyes with me.

C
And it scared me to see, myself in twenty years

G
lost, ashamed, locked up loaded down

          G
sure to try I didn't know it but I could change my ways

Am
and I took a different road

         C
no more running around in circles, no more chasing my tail,

          G
I'm just,  goin' forward these days with my eyes closed

              G
I know I can make f*ck it I know I can make it if I try

Am
I must let love live inside me for awhile

C
but maybe later on I'll see you all after the show

G
I heard this story out here 'bout an hour ago

Am
I know, I know it

       C
I am a different man, different man I was

          G
I'm gonna find my way home, gonna find my way home
[Outro] G x2 Am x2 C x2 G x2
