Make it happy ever after
D G
With all the love I've thrown away
C Em
Make some golden tomorrow

With everything I left today

And you could make a mountain of excuses
Em D G
Find me any reason to stay
C Em
But it's too late for making offers
D
Too late for anything that anyone might say
[Refrão]
G Em C
I got open road
D
Ahead of me
G Em C D G
And it goes as far as I can see
C Em
Once you had everything to teach me
D G
Once I had everything to learn
C
Now you can stand beside me one more time
Em D
And watch these pretty bridges burn
G C
And then you can take the high road
Em D
Way up there where every thing's so clear
G C
And I will keep wandering around these back alleyways
Em D
I will try to find my own way out of here

And if the truth be told
G D
I'd live my life that way
G Em A
With an open road, nothing to hold
D
Nothing standing in my way
G
And I will leave this sweet new England
Em
And I will leave these ghosts of you
C
I will climb onto that train
D
Find a seat that's got no view
G
And I will take what I need with me
Em
I will not take what I don't
C
And I will say that I'll be back here
D
But I know that I won't
G
And I will live with empty pockets
Em
And I will live with empty sleeves
C
I will know that there is nothing
D
In this world I cannot leave
G
And I will tell my friends I love them
Em
I will hope that they know
C
That I need nobody beside me
D G C G Em C D G
On this open road___
