CAPO 3
VERSE
C
I was driving back west through the patches of fog
Am
We had the brights turned on and we listened to songs
F G C
I didn’t know it then but I was right where I needed to be.
C
You were back at home you were working a job
Am
and you were hangin out nights with your friends at the bar.
F G C
You didn’t know it then but you were right where you needed to be.
VERSE
I was driving back west through the patches of fog
We had the brights turned on and we listened to songs
I didn’t know it then but I was right where I needed to be.
You were back at home you were working a job
and you were hanging out nights with your friends at the bar.
You didn’t know it then but you were right where you needed to be.
CHORUS
F C
When all you have is what’s inside your pocket,
Am F G
and all your dreams seem stuck on the shelf.
F C Am
Well you best prepare the way for change is comin’.
F G C
Cuz the road will always take you somewhere else.
VERSE
I was waking up to the sound of the raindrops
while you while you were in the southeast sleepin in truck stops.
I didn’t know it then but I was right where I needed to be.
You were making friends with people I’d never meet
and I was prayin to God that your band would succeed.
I didn’t’ know it then but you were right where you needed to be.
CHORUS (variation)
When all you have is what’s inside your pocket
and all your dreams seem stuck up on the shelf,
you best prepare the way for change is coming, yes it is.
F G Am
Oh the road will always take you somewhere else.
F G
Yeah the road will always take you somewhere.
BRIDGE
F G Am C G F
Don’t forget all you’ve ever wanted is yours
F G Am C G F G
Don’t forget all you’ve ever wanted is yours. It’s yours.
F C
Well the east coast is busy and the west coast is wild.
Am F G
The south keeps it steady while the north rolls around.
F C Am
And somewhere in the middle there’s a town that no one knows
F G Am
where every local kid comes out to every local show.
F G
Oh the road will always take you somewhere.
