AS recorded by Turnpike Troubadours (From the 2025 Album THE PRICE OF ADMISSION) [Intro] G C Em Am C G D [Verse 1]
        G
When it all went off the rails

        C                  Em
Come to port with tattered sails

      Am          C                    G  D
Every victory and fail, that's nothing

           G
And you're grateful for the grift

        C              Em
For the ticket and the lift

Am                          C          G  D
Another pint, another fifth down to empty
[Chorus]
C                 G            Em            D
Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me

C                Em       C  G      D
Well, I need something to go my way
[Guitar Solo] G C Em Am C G D [Verse 2]
    G
The whole thing's upside-down

C              Em
Lost and never found

          Am                  C          G    D
I'm gonna sell it by the pound when it's over

        G
Did you dig yourself a hole

          C               Em
With your lack of self-control?

         Am                  C                G       D
Well, if that ain't rock 'n' roll, I've never seen it
[Chorus]
C                 G            Em            D
Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me

C                Em       C  G
Well, I need something to go my way
[Interlude] C G Em D C Em C G D [Verse 3]
  G
A gospel from the light

    C               Em
The years of passersby

       Am                   C             G          D
Pretty sure you ought to try to learn the difference

          G
Where the hell did you come from?

        C            Em
Are you only playing dumb?

         Am               C           G        D
What's a tune you made me hum, little darling?
[Chorus]
C                 G            Em            D
Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me

C                Em       C  G      D
Well, I need something to go my way

C                 G            Em            D
Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me

C                Em       C  G      D
Well, I need something to go my way
