INTRO
C, *,Am7, **, C, *, pause
I've been packin' my bags
I'll be headin' down south
By the time graduation rolls around
Where the weather is warmer
Am7 (Hold)
And the people are fresh
VERSE
I'll be ponderin' life,
Doin' my time on the road
C Am7 (1 strum)
Pedal to the metal in my 1999 ford
PRECHORUS
And all my life in one place
Em7/B G (1 strum)
I've done my time but i've lost the race
CHORUS
I've been workin' my ass off
Trying to find the part of me
My friends all miss
But honestly..
I'm kinda fed up with
All this advice,
But never a sign..
Should I stay?
Or should I go away?
All to find
The better half of me
VERSE II
I've got this spare change
I'll be sendin' souvenirs
To all my friends up north
Where the weather is cooler
And the people are dull
VERSE
I'll be ponderin' life,
Doing my time on the road
Pedal to the metal in my 1999 Ford
PRECHORUS
And all my life in one place
Em7/B G (1 strum)
I've done my time but i've lost the race
CHORUS
I've been workin' my ass off
Trying to find the part of me
My friends all miss
But honestly..
I'm kinda fed up with
All this advice,
But never a sign..
Should I stay?
Or should I go away?
All to find
The better half of me
C, Am7, F, G
The better half of me
C, Am7, F, G
(Single strums)
C, Am7, F, G
