Capo IV 

Intro: G  Em  C  D . . . G  Em  C  D

          Em                  C
Well it's half my heart and a little bit of soul
     G                     D
That makes me feel I wanna ride this road
Em         C              G     D
I wouldn't change it if I could 
    Em                               C 
And me and this road, you know we've got an understanding
G                    D
It won't leave me at home and I am
Em           C              G      D 
Too tired to do just what I should 
C                D                G    G/F#    Em  
And last night I asked if I could take comfort in the rosewood
C                        D
The road said nothing at all

CHORUS:

          G                          Em
'Cause it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard
  C                           D
I drive it all night with the wheel of my car
G                 C                    D
It won't leave me running for the door 
           G                       Em 
And if the paint's still wet I can just slow down
           C                D
And it all goes away on the other side of town
G                   C            D 
And nothing is that easy anymore 

         Em                        C
Well the hurt won't leave with the sight of white lines
       G           D
But it eases up my pain for a while
Em       C            G    D   
The only habit that I keep 
    Em                      C 
And miles take time but the time is mine
    G             D 
And always moving suits me fine
Em            C             G     D  
I'll catch my breath when I sleep 
C         D                  G       G/F#        Em 
And after all that I've done I'm not half what I hoped that I'd become
C                           D
There's still a long way to go

CHORUS
