[Verse 1]
    A
Somewhere between

St. Paul and Sioux City
     E
Jake fell asleep at the wheel
  F#m
I woke up to the rumble strips
            E
And then it all became so real
             A
That there's no one at home
waiting for me And there's
E
nothing that I miss at all
   F#m
It may be because of the
life that I choose But
            E
when you've got nothing
You've got nothing to lose


[Instrumental]
A E F#m E


[Verse 2]
      A
And I wonder what it will
             E
be like when I get back home
        F#m
Will my friends still drink
in my garage Or will she
E
ever pick up her phone?
    A
And I don't want to read the
E                    F#m
same book again Just hit
the gas get on the road
    E
and never let this end


[Chorus 1]
                A
I'd rather play three
chords to three kids
           E
Than spend one more day
         F#m
there Complaining about
my dead end job not
E
getting me anywhere
         A
And it's more than just
       E
a tour more than just
these songs It's the
F#m
feeling of know that
this is This is
E
everything we've got


[Verse 3]
     A
It's ten p.m. in Washington
        E
and the show just let out
    F#m
I'm in some dirty bathroom
           E
stall just trying to cool down
A
Nate is outside loading the van
          E
Smoking a cigarette that he
                     F#m
found in a trash can Marco just
               E
got kicked for twenty bucks in gas


[Verse 4]
A                E
  Jake is at the front door
            F#m
begging for change
          E
We've got make
this money last


[Chorus 2]
                A
I'd rather play three
chords to three kids
           E
Than spend one more day
         F#m
there Complaining about
my dead end job not
E
getting me anywhere


[Chorus 3]
                A
I'd rather play three
chords to three kids
           E
Than spend one more day
         F#m
there Complaining about
my dead end job not
E
getting me anywhere
         A
And it's more than just
       E
a tour more than just
these songs It's the
F#m
feeling of know that
this is This is
E
everything we've got


[Chorus 4/Outro]
            A
And there's no place
that I'd rather be
      E
than stuck in this
van with you three
            F#m
And there's no place
that I'd rather be
      E
than stuck in this
van with you three
             A E F#m E A E F#m E A
Don't let it go
