_ _ _ I'm going to go with C too. _ _
_ We're in town making a new kind of music, we're playing two or three keys at the same [D] time.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
I can hardly stand the sight of lipstick on [F] the [Em] cigarettes there in the [D] ashtray.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
Lying cold were you laughing, but at least your [F] lips caressed them [C] while you passed.
_ _ _ [D] _ [F] Or a lip print on a hat filled with a cup of coffee, but you [C] poured it and didn't drink.
_ _ _ _ [G] But at least you thought you [Dm] wanted it, [G] there's so much more that I can [C] say for me.
_ _ What a good year [F] for the road _ _ that it blows, [C] still make you there.
The lock is staring [Dm] at the moment, _ [G] _ _ funny I [C] don't even care.
Can you turn [F] away, _
_ [G] _ and as the door [F] behind you [C]

[C] _ _

_ _ What a good [F] year for _ _ _ the road that it blows, [C] still make you there.
The lock is staring [Dm] at the moment, _ _ [G] _ funny I don't [C] even care.
Can you turn [F] _ _
away, [G] and as the door [F] behind you [C]
closes.
_ _ The only thing [Dm] I got to say, _ [G] it's been a good year [C] for the road.
