Tuning: Standard - CAPO on 1st fret
Chords: C F Dm C


Verse 1:

C 
      We?ll drive until the gas is gone...
     F
Then walk until our feet our torn...
Dm  
Crawl until we feed the soil...
C
Film the whole thing.

         C
It?s all business in the left hand lane...
      F
Drive there and then drive back again...
 Dm
Escape can?t be the only way...
    F
To escape...

        C
So I?ve gotten used to coffee sweats...
      F
Still getting used to road regrets...
       Dm
Hell I took you up on all your threats...
F
To leave.

Chorus:

       C
It?s a shame...It?s a crying shame.
          F
Them's the breaks...
                        Dm
And ain?t it always the way...
                                            F
That takes you back to from where it is you came...

Verse 2:

C
Robby like?s his country tune...
           F
It?s never been the lens that I see through...
            Dm
But I guess driving for a week or two...
     F
Puts words in your mouth...

        C
So find dodge and then get out of it...
      F
It?s about as country as I can get...
              Dm
See you ain?t living till you?re living it...
           F
You?re not dead till you die...

Verse 3:

    C
But watch out for the paraphrase...
              F
Cause they will crown you then they will take your legs...
        Dm
See the cost is more than what you get paid...
F
But do it anyway.

Chorus:

       C
It?s a shame...It?s a crying shame...
          F
Them's the breaks...
                        Dm
And ain?t it always the way...
                                            F
That takes you back to from where it is you came...

Chorus again (sing higher):

       C
It?s a shame...It?s a crying shame...
          F
Them's the breaks...
                        Dm
And ain?t it always the way...
                                            F
That takes you back to from where it is you came...
