Intro
[D] [A] [F#m] [A]
Verse 1
[D]I used to [A]think that this was my town
What a [F#m]stupid thing to [A]think
[D]I hear you're[A] fighting off a breakdown
I myself [F#m]am on the brink[A]
[D]I used to want[A] to be a real man
I don't know[F#m] what that even [A]means
[D]Now I just want[A] you in my arms again
[F#m]And we can [A]search each other's dreams
Chorus
[Bm]I know you're tired
[A]And you ain't [E]sleeping well
[Bm]Uninspired
[A]And likely mad as [E]hell
[Bm]But wherever you are
[A]I hope the [E]high road leads you home [D]again
Verse 2
[D]I've heard enough of the [A]white man's blues
[F#m]I've sang enough [A]about myself
[D]So if you're looking for [A]some bad news
[F#m]You can find it [A]somewhere else
[D]Last year was a [A]son of a bitch
[F#m]For nearly [A]everyone we know
[D]But I ain't fighting [A]with you down in a ditch
I'll [F#m]meet you up here [A]on the road
Chorus
[Bm]I know you're tired
[A]And you ain't [E]sleeping well
[Bm]Uninspired
[A]And likely mad [E]as hell
[Bm]But wherever you are
[A]I hope the high [E]road leads you home again
To a world you want [D]to live in
Bridge
[F#m]We'll ride the ship down
Dumping [A]buckets overboard
[F#m]There can't be more of them than us
[E]There can't be [D]more
Chorus
[Bm]I know you're tired
[A]And you ain't [E]sleeping well
[Bm]Uninspired
[A]And likely mad [E]as hell
[Bm]But wherever you are
[A]I hope the high [E]road leads you home again
To a world you want to [D]live in
