C           F                  C
I'm tired just kicking my heels at home
F               Bb        F    F/G
Waiting for the phone to ring
   G        C                  F
Anything but sit around all day and play
C                    F
The electric drummer way
   Bb       F       F/G                     G     F/G
No audience applauds they can't see through doors


[Chorus]
       Am                    D
But I got to get back on the road
   G           C            Am
Life is like a heavy stone around my neck
   F               G
If I can't hit the deck
Am          D
Back on the road
G          C                Am
Turn on my guitar and empty all the pain
F       G
Play to you again

F             G         C           Bb
The world's a stage and I am just a player
Am             G#      F        C
Waiting for my turn to wear the crown
F             G           Am        F
The world's a stage and I am just a player
F          G           C
You cut my strings and I fall down


[Verse 2]
C F (X2)

  C           F                     C
Playing with yourself can send you blind
    F                 Bb  F/G
To everything you hear
 F                 F/G
Blind from ear to ear
       C            F
Going crazy, being lazy
    C            F              Bb  F/G
I find myself forgetting who I am
G              F/G
 Maybe I'm a madman


[Chorus]
       Am                    D
But I got to get back on the road
   G           C            Am
Life is like a heavy stone around my neck
   F               G
If I can't hit the deck
Am          D
Back on the road
G          C                Am
Turn on my guitar and empty all the pain
F             G
Play to you again

F G (3X)

[Chorus]
 Am             D
   back on the road
   G           C            Am
Life is like a heavy stone around my neck
   F               G
If I can't hit the deck
Am          D
Back on the road
G          C                Am
Turn on my guitar and empty all the pain
F             G
Play to you again


[Outro]
