This is new stuff here.
[E] [A] [E] [D]
[A] [E] [D]
[A] I guess [E] what I'll miss [D] the most, [A] baby, in the morning,
the squeak [E] of a hardwood [D] floor as you start [A] out your day.
And I've [E] loved you, darling, [D] from across your [A] kitchen table.
And I've [E] loved you, darling, [D] from a thousand [A] miles away.
[C#] Darling, I'm still [C#m] standing here.
[C#] I've got reasonable fears.
[D] All the houses I've built came crashing down [B] around my ears.
And [A] we got a long [D] drive home.
We [A] got a long [D] drive home.
[A] We got a [D] long drive home.
[E] And I'm damned if I do.
[D] And I'm damned if [A] you don't.
[D] [A] Well, lately, [E] you could say [D] that I've been [A] living easy.
Looking [E] for some quiet [D] and a song that [A] I could sing.
And your [E] friends look at me [D] all like I'm some [A] kind of puppet.
Oh, but I'm [E] well aware of [D] who's going on [A] my street.
[B]
[C#m] And there's one thing that I've learned,
and [C#] that the tables all get turned.
I've [D] made my living starting fires.
Well, I guess I'm [Bm] bound to burn.
And we [A] got a long [D] drive home.
We [A] got a long [D] drive home.
We [A] got a long [D] drive home.
And [E] I'm damned if I do.

[E] [D] [A]
[E] [A]
Well, if home is [E] what you're looking for,
[D] won't you find another [A] business?
If love ain't [E] songs, ain't any [D] cards,
won't you find another [A] game?
I'm still [E] here searching for [D] the things [A] that I've been missing.
Living with [E] these loaded-on [D] fools and not a stupid [A] shame.
[C#] Oh, and I [C#m] still dwell in the sad of [C#] things that I regret.
[D] And you still can't forgive the times I wish I could forget.
And we [A] got a long [D] drive home.
We [A] got a long [D] drive home.

And [E] I'm damned if I do.
[D] And I'm damned if you [F#] don't.
[D] [A] [E]
[D] [A] Don't get too excited.
We're people [E] anymore.
[D] We got no [A] staying power.
Wait, wait, [E] wait, wait.
Start over.
[F#]
[Am] [E] We're people anymore.
[D] We got no [A] staying power.
The love you come [E] by easy, [D] it'll leave you just [A] the same.
You want [E] something bad, you gotta [D] believe a little [A] for it.
You gotta look in [E] the eye, you gotta [D] call it out.
[A] But none of [C#m] the lovers they march by,
they ain't like you and I.
They [D] all wanna be Hank Williams.
They don't wanna have to [E] die.
We [A] got a long [D] drive home.
We [A] got a long [D] drive home.
[A] We got a long [D] drive home.
