[Primeira Parte]

   E
I’m cutting ties with things that 
bind
  A
My heart to this world
 C#m                            B
I love you and I’m willing but I 
cannot

Keep you girl
E                          A
Philly by the morning and Ohio by 
the

Night
   C#m                            
The thing about a long rope is you 
B
can’t

Hold on too tight

( E  A  C#m  B )

[Segunda Parte]

E                           
Wooden floors and coffee cups 
  A
stepped on

And all used up
      C#m                          
But I reckon that’s what morning 
  B
are for
   E
And everyone thinks they know me now
 in
     A
These close minded leave me towns
    C#m                       
But I’m too young to even know 
   B
myself

[Refrão]

       E      B
There’s wheels running down the
C#m
Interstate
A               E               
Lord, I’ll wait another day cuz I 
B
ain’t
        C#m  A
Close to you
        E    B            
There’s time ticking on the 
  C#m
interstate
   A            E           B
And Lord, I hate that I ain’t close 
to
C#m  A
You

[Terceira Parte]

   E                               
And all my friends have moved away, 
A
some

Got jobs and some got saved
     C#m                           
They talk to me like I am still 
  B
that kid
   E
The fighting, fiendin' Okie son, the
A
Restless, reckless, hopeful one
    C#m                            
Who once was proud of everything he
 B
 did

[Quarta Parte]

  E               A
Do you remember 25 long legs and 
loving

Time
C#m                     B
Seems like 10 lifetimes ago
   E
I’m cutting ties with things that 
bind
  A
My heart to this world
 C#m                            B
I love you and I’m willing but I 
really

Have to go

[Refrão]

       E      B
There’s wheels running down the
C#m
Interstate
A               E               
Lord, I’ll wait another day cuz I 
B
ain’t
        C#m  A
Close to you
       E    B              
There’s time ticking on the 
C#m
interstate
   A
I'm fighting fate
   E                 B
And Lord, I hate that I ain’t close 
to
C#m  Á
You

( E  B  C#m  A )

I’m cutting ties with things that

I love you and I’m willing but I 
cannot

Keep you girl
E                          A
Philly by the morning and Ohio by 
the night
   C#m                           B
The thing about high hopes is you 
can’t

Hold on too tight
