B5 (x244xx@1) D5 (xx023x@1) A5To (x022xx@1)take charge, or pack our guitars for the long flight
G5She (355xxx@1)be alright
B5 (x244xx@1) D5No (xx023x@1)cash or plan we were, criss-crossing the states
B5 (x244xx@1) D5In (xx023x@1)some van we were, c-c-cooking our beans
B5 (x244xx@1) D5On (xx023x@1)the block while the motor was hot
A5 (x022xx@1) G5Something's (355xxx@1)got to blow, let's get to the show

A5 (x022xx@1) G5That's (355xxx@1)the way we roll, 'cause we've been set free
Verse 2: (Same as intro riff)
B5 (x244xx@1) D5Reset (xx023x@1)the stage we were, out rattling the cage
B5 (x244xx@1) D5With (xx023x@1)each show we were, out hawkin' them shirts
B5For (x244xx@1)more lights, 'till shine hit the brights
A5 (x022xx@1) G5And (355xxx@1)we saw your faces, and we got new bassists
B5 (x244xx@1) D5Good (xx023x@1)and the lame we were, spinning our drums
B5 (x244xx@1) D5Like (xx023x@1)a dial we were, blowing up domes
B5 (x244xx@1) D5From (xx023x@1)a pile, it worked for a while

[Chorus]
The bridge is the only part that I am not sure on as far as chords go. If anyone has any
suggestions, please say so in the comments.

D5 (xx023x@1) B5We'll (x244xx@1)lighten up the load at the startin' gate
D5 (xx023x@1) B5We'l (x244xx@1)lighten up the load to a fightin' weight
D5We'll (xx023x@1)light up the road

G5We (355xxx@1)got to fly
[Chorus] (Quietly (Single Strums) + Lead part)
[Chorus]
End:
A5 (x022xx@1) G5 (355xxx@1) B5(hold)
That's the way we roll, 'cause we've been set free
