Capo 3
Am
Well it's a small town and there aint much to see
E
and I've always got those neighbors just starring at me
Dm
Every time I come back it's always the same
E
I'm sick and damn tired of playing these games as I
Am
Reach for my glass I'm spilling my drink
E
and I watch the whiskey bubble and drip to the sink
Dm
I'm so drunk and tired my head could explode
E
I guess that's what it's like after living on the road
Dm Am
but there's nothing else we'd rather do - oo - oo
F E Am
like pumping gas or going back to school
F E
So you can have your paper thin walls
Am Dm
and your late night business calls
F E Am
We'll be out keeping this world alive till we die
Solo: Play verse chords
Am
And when the time comes to be leaving again
E
you can swear to your mother that I'm the first one in
Dm
Jammin that key and turn the engine around
E
I can't stop my mind from thinking of the sound
Am
Of our acoustic guitars feeding back like hell
E
Telling everybody we got albums to sell
Dm
And if you're so kind we need a place to stay
E
So ready your roommates cause they ain't gonna sleep
Dm Am
but there's nothing else we'd rather do - oo - oo
F E Am
like pumping gas or going back to school
F E
So you can have your paper thin walls
Am Dm
and your late night business calls
F E Am
We'll be out keeping this world alive till we die
F E Am
Ooooooh oooh till we die (3x)
Am E
Till we die - ie - ie - ie - ie
Dm Am
but there's nothing else we'd rather do - oo - oo
F E Am
like pumping gas or going back to school
F E
So you can have your paper thin walls
Am Dm
and your late night business calls
F E Am
We'll be out keeping this world alive till we die
F E Am
We'll be out keeping this world alive till we die (3x)
