Chords

[Intro] C Am C Am [Verse 1]
C                                  Am
Tonight we're fighting in a losing war

C                                      Am
Don't even remember what we're fighting for

F                       C
Running on hope and gasoline

C                                      Am
Got a real bad feeling it's a pipe bomb dream
[Chorus]
       F
Well I did a little something for the brave and free

        C
Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me

F
Took a few too many liberties

       C                  G
It's a hard ass lesson to learn

C                           F
Roll the dice just one more turn

C                                        Am
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn
[Instrumental] C Am [Verse 2]
C                               Am
Driving all night with a steady hand

C                                           Am
Bringing a heavy rig home from the promised land

F                            C
Oklahoma City by the morning sun

C                                        Am
I ain't never met a problem that I can't outrun
[Chorus]
  F
I did a little something for the brave and free

        C
Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me

F
Took a few too many liberties

       C                  G
It's a hard ass lesson to learn

C                                 F
But I roll the dice just one more turn

C                                       Am
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn
[Instrumental] C Am F C F C G C F C Am [Verse 3]
           C                                Am
Well I was riding high when the lights came on

      C                        Am
I was 45 miles from the county line

F                                C
Hit a jackpot once went back for more

        C                             Am
From an old pipe dream to a cell block floor
[Chorus]
F
Say it's alright but you know it's not

           C
And you're breaking up laws and you wind up caught

     F
It's everything or all for naught

       C                  G
It's a hard ass lesson to learn

      C                           F
But I roll the dice just one more time

C                                        Am
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn

C                                        Am
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn
[Outro] F C F C G C F C Am C Am C Am
