[Verse 1] 0:05
Am              Am
Am I wasting my time here

     Am                E7
Am I just running from life

       E7/D                E7
Just today in front of the devil

        E7/D       (Am)
With no angel on my side

                Am
They call these back roads the Badlands

                            E7
A man don't make it here on trust

       E7/D               E7
Just a bunch of busted up Chevys

       E7/D          Am
Baking in the tulare dust
[Bridge] 0:27
      G        G/B      Am
And I hear the same old story

      G       G/B      Am
Every morning cross my mind

       G            G/B    Am    E7
As the clock chimes on the hour

           E7               (Am)    Am
I know the years will not be kind
[Chorus] 0:41
F               F       (Am)   Am
They're burning fast up ahead

G                G/B     (Am)    Am
  They're fading slowly behind

F                       (Am)    Am
  But I'm learning to accept it

E7         E7/D  E7         (Am)    Am    Am
  That the years will not be kind
[Verse 2] 1:06
      Am
And I pull up to the station

                         E7
I figure I'll give you a call

      E7/D               E7
I can read my fortune in front of me

           E7/D            (Am)
Right here on this bathroom wall

        Am            (Am)
And I'm looking in the mirror

         Am            E7
It's all greazy and it streakes

        E7/D        E7
And the guy staring back at me

      E7/D            Am
Ain't seen a razor in weeks
[Bridge] 1:28
      G        G/B      Am
And I hear the same old story

      G        G/B          Am
Every evening 'round supper time

       G     G/B           Am    E7
As the clock chimes on the hour

    E7               (Am)    Am
The years will not be kind
[Chorus] 1:42
F               F       (Am)   Am
They're burning fast up ahead

G                G/B     (Am)    Am
  They're fading slowly behind

F                       (Am)    Am
  But I'm learning to accept it

E7         E7/D  E7         (Am)    Am    (Am)    Am
  That the years will not be kind

  They're fading slowly behind

F                      (Am)    Am
  But I'm learning to accept it

  That the years will not be kind
