Verse 1:


F#m/C#  G (Barre)


        I'm Trying To Focus


F#m/C#  G (Barre)


        But I'm Falling Asleep


F#m/C#  G (Barre) G7M           C


        The Baggage On My Eyelids is too heavy too keep from falling


Em      Am9 C     G


 Ramble On into the day...



F#m/C#  G (Barre)


        I've been Driving


F#m/C#  G (Barre)


        Since A Quarter To Three


F#m/C#  G (Barre)  G7M           C


        I've seen the sun come up so many times this week


          Em       Am9 C    G


It's scary, Rollin' on until the day....


Chorus:


Em                 D Em


When I get on that open road


          C    D        Em


There's a pull within my bones


Em                 D     Em


Like a ship that's bound by rope


          C      D         Em


It won't let go, It Won't let go...


         C      D         Em


It won't let go, It Won't let go...


Verse 2:


F#m/C#  G (Barre)


        I've been runover


F#m/C#  G (Barre)


        By The hangover Truck


F#m/C#  G (Barre) G7M               C


        A Drive-by shooting shot down by 12 ounce city proof slugs


        Em      Am9


Embedded, in my head

    C       G


The ache in my head....


F#m/C#  G (Barre)


        I've been smoking


F#m/C#  G (Barre)


        Sticks from a ditch


F#m/C#  G (Barre) G7M                  C


        That Midwest Farmers Daughter's the one thats making me itch


         Em          Am9    C    G


In Places, I'd never want an itch to be...




Chorus:



Em                 D Em


When I get on that open road


          C    D        Em


There's a pull within my bones


Em                 D     Em


Like a ship that's bound by rope


          C      D         Em


It won't let go, It Won't let go


         C      D         Em


It won't let go, It Won't let go...



Solo:

For the Solo Part Geoff Weers uses an Em chord with some quick little mutted strums in 
between. You should be able to figure it out on your own,
Listen to the song to figure out the rhythm.


Chorus:

(He Starts using Barre Chords)



Em                  D Em


When I get on that open road


          C    D        Em


There's a pull within my bones


Em                 D     Em


Like a ship that's bound by rope


            C      D         Em


It won't let go, It Won't let go...


             C      Dmaj         Em <------------ He Goes back to Open Chords


It won't let go, It Won't let go...


Em                 D     Em


Like a ship that's bound by rope


            C      D         Em


It won't let go, It Won't let go...


            C      D         Em


It won't let go, It Won't let go...
