[C] _ [N] Old 97's take one, marker.
_ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ We've been doing [D] this longer than you've [C] been alive.
_ _ Propelled by some mysterious drive.
_ _ [F] And they still let me do it as weird as that scene.
_ _ [C] And I do it most nights and then again in my dreams.
_ _ [G] Infinite hallways and giant [F] hotels.
Dressing room looks about as good as it [C] smells. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Bottles of whiskey, bottles of beer.
_ _ _ There's a bottle of medicine somewhere around here.
_ _ _ [F] We've been in nightclubs and we've been in bars.
_ _ [C] Honky tonks and theaters from Memphis to Mars.
_ [G] Oh yeah, most of our shows were a triumph [F] of rock.
Although some nights I might have been checking [C] the clock. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm only human though I'm super at times.
_ Well I jumped off the risers, I should not have climbed.
_ _ [Fm] Oh and rock jumps won't kill you till one of them does.
_ _ [C] They'll say he tied you with what he loves.
_ _ [G] We had our share of loving in [Fm] our past.
Although we were all looking [C] for someone who'd last.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah it must be hard to [Cm] get partnered with me.
_ _ _ [D] [C] Some narcissism, some OCD.
_ _ _ [Fm] All but love that comes easy is a fake or a fluke.
_ [C] Love is a marathon, sometimes you're puked.
_ _ [G] Speaking of which, there has been [F] alcohol.
Oceans and oceans, but that is it all.
[G] Mountains of weed, a handful [F] of pills.
But none of the hard stuff, that stuff [G] kills.
We've been doing it longer than you've been [F] alive.
Twenty good years of about twenty [G]-five.
[C] _
_ _ [Fm] Rock and roll's been very, [C] very good to me.
_ [G] The open [Fm] road's the only [C] place I want to be.
_ _ [Fm] Rock and roll's been very, very good [C] to me.
_ _ [G] The open road's [F] the only place I want [C] to be.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ I'm [C] not crazy about songs that get self-referential.
_ _ _ Oh most of this stuff should be kept confidential.
_ _ [Fm] All but who even gives half a care anymore?
_ _ _ [C] You should know the truth, it's both a blast and a bore.
_ _ [G] Rock doesn't want such mythical [F] creatures.
Up there [C] with presidents, playmates and preachers.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ Oh now you just do it cause it's what you do.
_ _ They throw underwear instead of money at you.
_ _ [Fm] _ I made a living out of shaking my ass.
_ _ [C] And if you offer me an office I have to pass.
_ _ [G] Our jobs are all jobs and sometimes [D] they suck.
I love what I do and I've had pretty good [C] luck. _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ Well the fans are all clapping, screaming and squealing.
_ _ And I won't lie to you that's a pretty sweet feeling.
_ _ _ [Fm] And I might butt heads with the guys in my band.
_ [C] But I never once went to work for the man.
_ _ [G] All but the men and the women like [Fm] you, him and her.
We're sharing this night that'll soon be a blur.
[G] We've been doing it longer than you've been [C] alive.
