Intro: D G D
 
D
I never get lonely
D
I get these ghosts to keep me company
G
I took the rearview off of this old Ford
G
So I only see in front of me
D
Now the past is out of sight and out of mind
G A
Swore I changed, now I'm back chasing these white lines
 
[Refrão]
A D
I'm just a long-haired son of a sinner
G
Searching for new ways I can get gone
A
I'm a pedal to the highway
G D
If you ever wonder why we write these songs
D
'Cause I'm only one drink away from the devil
G
I'm only one call away from home
A
Yeah, I'm somewhere in the middle
A G D
I guess I'm just a little right and wrong
 
D
These backroads got me
D
These pills pretend to be my friend
G
I'm done for the last time
G
I'm lying to myself again
D
I always say that
D G
Now I'm on my way back here somehow
G
I should know by now

Bm
Mistakes I made, I paid for them in cash
A
Walked a million miles on broken glass
G
I'm feeling like I'm fading
G
My heart's been slowly breaking
 
Bm
Might pop a pill and smoke and maybe drink
A
Talk to God and tell Him what I think
G
At first He's gonna hate me
G
But eventually He'll save me
