[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G In the bitter honest light of day Em G (I really don't need to be here) G There ain’t too much left to say Am G (I really don't need to be here) G It's all a racket anyway Am C G Just tell ’em what they wanna hear now Am C G Tell 'em what they want to hear
[Verse 2]
G The walls are painted cinderblock Am G (Oh, Lord, the road I'm on) G I make my bed and set my clock Am G (Oh, Lord, the road I'm on) G A little harder now to talk Am C G And tell 'em what they wanna hear now Am C G Tell 'em what they want to hear
[Chorus]
C And I'll bе back out, yes, I will C Spend my money and drink my fill G Em Long and еmpty hours to kill Am C G Ain't no changing me now Am C G Ain’t no changing me
[Interlude]
G Em G Am G
[Verse 3]
G My books and clothes and soul, I’m packed Em G (Oh, the road that led me here) G My roommate tells me 'bout Iraq Am G (Oh, the road that led me here) G Patched him up when he came back Am C G I guess I’ve had it easy Am C G I guess I've had it easy
[Verse 4]
G And I play along and force a smile Em G (Oh, the road that led me here) G But they saw me coming by a mile Am G (Oh, the road that led me here) G From ruling class to rank and file Am C G The burden's all the same now Am C G The burden's all the same
[Chorus]
C And I'll bе back out, yes, I will C Spend my money and drink my fill G Em Long and еmpty hours to kill Am C G Ain't no changing me now Am C G Ain’t no changing me
[Interlude]
G Em G Am G
Em G Am G
[Verse 5]
G At the risk of sounding cavalier Em G (Oh, Lord, the road I'm on) G My head and heart and conscience clear Am G (Oh, Lord, the road I'm on) G I pray deliverance from fear Am G The only thing I need now Am G The only thing I need
[Verse 6]
G Well, had you looked it in the eye Em G (Oh, Lord, the road I'm on) G Oh, had they stated, not implied Am G (Oh, Lord, the road I'm on) G The choice is but do or die Am C G Nothing in your way now Am C G Nothing in your way
[Chorus]
C I'll be leaving, yes, I will G Cyclone in my soul, be still Em My heart is full enough to spill Am C G Well, how did I get here now? Am C G How did I get here?
[Outro]
G Em G Am G Em G
