VERSE 1
       VERSE RIFF                       VERSE RIFF
Took a drag from something I don't even smoke.
      VERSE RIFF                              VERSE RIFF
And a line from something that some other guy wrote.
         VERSE RIFF                                           VERSE RIFF
Now it's red wine for headline, somebody's pulling favours by phone.
      VERSE RIFF                                   PRECHORUS
Is it really so bad or you just want some place to go?

VERSE 2
        VERSE RIFF                                VERSE RIFF
Give me noise and the sound of hearts breaking in songs.
          VERSE RIFF                                            VERSE RIFF
Give them profiles and a voice which shows which country you're from.
VERSE RIFF                     VERSE RIFF
Meanwhile, I was there thinking
   VERSE RIFF                                    PRECHORUS
Is it really that bad or did you just want me to go?

CHORUS
G               G/F#                        Em
Hey, before you leave us by the side of the road
          D                           C
I want to tell you 'bout the little I know
         G/B           G/Bb  Am7
It's the cream, it's a crock

VERSE 3
        VERSE RIFF                            VERSE RIFF
Pick it up and spill your guts to someone who knows
              VERSE RIFF                                             VERSE RIFF
I'll suck you up like a kleenex and leave the mess in the back of my throat
VERSE RIFF                      VERSE RIFF
Meanwhile, I was there thinking
      VERSE RIFF                                     PRECHORUS
Is it really that bad or did you just want me to go?

CHORUS
G               G/F#                        Em
Hey, before you leave us by the side of the road,
          D                           C
I want to tell you 'bout the little I know
         G/B           G/Bb   
It's the cream, it's a crock
         Am7
Oh Rusty, let it rock!
