[Verse 1]
        C                        GI was a selfish young man when I lost my granddaddy
Am                     F                     C   G Fell in love to the B-side of "Shootenanny!"
         C                         GGot more bottles than leaves on my family tree
     Am                           F          C   GLate nights, early flights is the life for me

[Pre-Chorus]
    F           GYou burn by the fire
       F             GOr get choked by the smoke
          CWell, the thunder does the talking
        EBut the lightning does the work
      GO-o-o-oh o-oh

[Chorus]
G7       C  FCarry me home

                      C  FI'm burned out to the bone
               GCan't tell I'm cryin'
           G6'Cause I'm stoned
            Am             F    CDragging my love along the long road

    Am                      F                     C   GGet over yourself, get everything you need set out
    C                       GOne hand on the heater, the other flippin' the radio
Am                           F                     C   GFull moon fever, full cup of coffee on an open road

        F            GBut the sun's coming up
        F            GHits my heart like a drug

    EAre piled in a truck
      GO-o-o-oh o-oh

[Verse 3]
           C                             GBefore the same old tricks, fell for the lie, fell from grace

        C                                  GFalling backwards, fell over, fell off the face of the earth
          Am                   F                           C       GFell in a bucket of luck, arms flailing, free falling face first, mhmm
