_ [A] _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ Highways [E] and dance halls, [A] good song takes [B] you far.
[A] You write about [F#m] the moon, you dream about [Bm] the stars.
_ _ [A] Blues in old motel rooms, girls in [B] daddy's cars.
_ [A] You sing about [F#m] the nights, [D] you laugh about [Bm] the scars.
_ _ [A] Coffee in the mornings, cocaine [E] afternoons.
You talk [F#m] about the weather, [D] you dream about [Bm] the room.
_ [A] Phone calls [B] long distance, [A] tell you how [E] you've been.
[A] You forget about [F#m] the losses, [D] you exaggerate [Bm] the wins. _
_ [F#m] And when you [A] stop, you let them know you've got [D] it down.
_ It's just another [B] down [A] along the road.
_ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
Ladies come [F] to see you, if [A] your name still [F] rings a bell.
[A] They give you a [F#m] damn, you're nothing, [D] and they say they knew [Bm] you well. _
[A] So you tell them you [F] remember, but [A] they know it's just [F] a game.
[A] And along the road [F#m] their faces [D] all begin to look [Bm] the same.
_ _ [F#m] And when [B] you stop, you [D#] let them know you've [D] got it down.
_ It's just [B] another down [A] along the road.
[Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
_ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ It isn't [E] for the money, and it's only for a while.
You talk [F#m] about the [D] rules, you roll [Bm] away the _ miles.
[A] Candles in the neon, clinging to guitars.
You're right [F#m] about the moon, you're wrong [Bm] about the stars.
_ _ [F#m] And [B] when you stop, [D#] you let them know [D] you've got it down.
_ It's _ _ just another down along [A] the road.
