D9    G
        I'm trying to focus

D9    G
        But i'm fallin' asleep

D9    G                              C
        the baggage on my eyelids is too

                                   Em
        heavy to keep from fallin'

               Am     C           G
        Ramble on, on through the night

D9     G
        I've been driving

D9     G
        since a quarter to three

D9     G                             C
        I've seen the sun come up so many times

                             Em
        this week it's scary

               Am    C      G
        Rollin on until the day


       Chorus:

                   Em       D    Em
        When i get off that open road

                  C        D     Em
        There's a pull within my bones

               Em         D    Em
        Like a ship bound by a 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




D9     G
        I've been run over

D9     G
        by the hangover truck

D9     G
        A drive-by shooting shot down

           C
        By twelve ounce eighty proof slugs

                Em      Am
        Embedded, in my head

            C          G
        The ache in my head

D9     G                  D9   G
        I've been smokin',      sticks from a ditch

D9     G
        That mid-west farmer's daughter

               C
        Is the one that's makin' me itch

                 Em           Am      C       G 
        In places,  i'd never want an itch to be 


Repeat chorus with all barre chords. Enjoy
