G 320033Intro
N.C. A one, a two, a one two three
Verse 1
D We've been doing this longer than you've been alive D Propelled by some mysterious drive G And they still let me do it as weird as that seems D And I do it most nights and then again in my dreams A Infinite hallways and giant hotels G D Dressing room looks about as good as it smells
Verse 2
D Bottles of whisky and bottles of beer D There's a bottle of medicine somewhere round here G We've been in nightclubs and we've been in bars D Honky-tonks and theaters from Memphis to Mars A Most of our shows were a triumph of rock G D Although some nights I might have been checking the clock
Verse 3
D I'm only human though I'm super at times D I jump off of risers I should not have climbed G Rock jumps won't kill you until one of them does D Well, they'll say he died doing what he loves A We got our share of loving in our past G D Although we were all looking for someone who'd last
Verse 4
D Well, it must be hard to get partnered with me D Some narcissism, some OCD G Well, love that comes easy's a fake or a fluke D Love is a marathon, sometimes you puke A Speaking of which there has been alcohol G Oceans and oceans, but that isn't all A Mountains of weed, a handful of pills G None of the hard stuff, that shit kills A We've been doing it longer than you've been alive G D Twenty good years of about twenty-five One, two, three
Chorus 1
G D Rock and roll's been very very good to me A G D The open road's the only place I wanna be G D Rock and roll's been very very good to me A G D The open road's the only place I wanna be
Verse 5
D I'm not crazy about songs that get self-referential D And most of this stuff should be kept confidential G Aw but who even gives half-a-fuck anymore D Well, you should know the truth, it's both a blast and a bore A Rock stars were once such mythical creatures G D Up there with Presidents, playmates and preachers
Verse 6
D Ah, now you just do it 'cause it's what you do D They throw underwear instead of money at you G Now, I've made a living out of shaking my ass D And if you offer me an office, I'd have to pass A But our jobs are all jobs and sometimes they suck G D I love what I do, and I've had pretty good luck
Verse 7
D All the fans are all clapping and screaming and squealing D And I won't lie to you, that's a pretty sweet feeling G And I might butt heads with the guys in my band D But I never once went to work for The Man A The men and the woman like you have been hurt G We're sharing this night that will soon be a blur A We've been doing this longer than you've been alive G D Get on the bus and tell the driver to drive (one, two, three)
Chorus 2
G D Rock and roll's been very very good to me A G D The open road's the only place I wanna be G D Rock and roll's been very very good to me A G D The open road's the only place I wanna be G D Rock and roll's been very very good to me A G D Ah, the open road's the only place I wanna be A G D I said the open road's the only place I wanna be, ah yeah
