Intro- C5 G5 F5 G5 
         C5                             G5
She said how did you become so hard to handle?
A5                                 F5
Holding on to something you can?t see.
       C5                                  G5
As you spray paint your love songs like a vandal.
          A5             A5           D5
I said, I guess I let my lovers get the best of me. 

              F5
See it?s one more night,
        C5
Another drink to drown this stage-fright.
          G5                 G#5               A5
I?ll play one more song and I?ll feel so much better.
            D5          C5                 G5
And I?ll say thanks for coming, yeah, it?s best that I get running.
       F5                                     G5
If she wants to come along, I might just let her.
                C5      C5          A5                G5
You see there?s always another dream around the bend.
      F5                       E5        G5
If I can?t play for keeps, I?ll have to play pretend.
      C5           C5             A5                G5
Carry on for that next dream just around the bend,
D5                   C5          C5
listening for a love song I can call my friend.
        F5
As this old car careens,

       G5                                        C5          G5
I?m heading for those sweet dreams around the bend 
         C5                                    G5
She said it?s time you started thinking ?bout forever, 
A5                           F5
Make an honest woman of that girl.
             C5                                G5
I said it ain?t like she said boy it?s now or never,
       A5           G5              D5
Who am I to bring a child into this world?
            F5
To watch me play another show,
            C5
with twenty-five more towns to go,
           G5               G#5            A5
while the encore keeps him up on past his bedtime.
           D5               C5                  G5
As my lady goes crazy just to keep from getting lazy
          F5                               G5
While she does her best to hold onto this heart of mine... 
                 C5          C5                A5             G5
You see there?s always another dream around the bend.
      F5             E5                  G5
If I can?t play for keeps, I?ll have to play pretend.
      C5           C5             A5                 G5
Carry on for that next dream just around the bend,
D5              C5               C5
listening for a love song I can call my friend.

             F5
As this old car careens,


       G5                                       E5              F5   
I?m heading for those sweet dreams around the bend 
D5             G#5        A5 - G5 - D5
Yeah, to the bitter end.    Oh
             F5
You see it?s one more night
        C5
Another shot might make things all right.
          G5                 G#5             A5
I?ll play one more song and I?ll be feeling fine.
         D5           C5
And I?ll head for the back door,
                  C5
knowing I could have given so much more,
     F5                                  G5
And someone whispers hey, you?ll get em next time.
G5
There?s always next time. 
             C5          C5         A5                G5
Cause there?s always another dream around the bend.
     F5              E5               G5
I'll never play for keeps, I'll only play pretend
      C5           C5             A5              G5
Carry on for that next dream just around the bend,
D5              C5                   C5
listening for a love song that might take me to my end

             C5          C5         A5                G5
Yeah there?s always another dream around the bend
     F5              E5                       G5
If I can?t play for keeps, I guess I?ll play pretend.
      C5           C5             A5              G5
Carry on for that next dream just around the bend,
D5              C5                    C5
listening for a love song that might take me to the end 
        F5
As this old car careens,
       G5 
I?m heading for those sweet dreams 
                    C5      G5     F5     G5
On up around the bend 
G5                               C5
On up around the bend
