[INTRO]
N.C.
A one, a two, a one two three

[VERSE 1]
We've been [D]doing this longer than you've been alive
Pro[D]pelled by some mysterious drive
And they [G]still let me do it as weird as that seems
And I [D]do it most nights and then again in my dreams
[A]Infinite hallways and giant hotels
[G]Dressing room looks about as good as it smells [D]

[VERSE 2]
[D]Bottles of whisky and bottles of beer
There's a [D]bottle of medicine somewhere round here
[G]We've been in nightclubs and we've been in bars
[D]Honky-tonks and theaters from Memphis to Mars
[A]Most of our shows were a triumph of rock
Although [G]some nights I might have been checking the clock [D]

[VERSE 3]
[D]I'm only human though I'm super at times
I [D]jump off of risers I should not have climbed
[G]Rock jumps won't kill you until one of them does
Well, they'll [D]say he died doing what he loves
[A]We got our share of loving in our past
Although [G]we were all looking for someone who'd last [D]

[VERSE 4]
Well, it [D]must be hard to get partnered with me
[D]Some narcissism, some OCD
Well, [G]love that comes easy's a fake or a fluke
[D]Love is a marathon, sometimes you puke
[A]Speaking of which there has been alcohol
[G]Oceans and oceans, but that isn't all
[A]Mountains of weed, a handful of pills
[G]None of the hard stuff, that shit kills
We've been [A]doing it longer than you've been alive
[G]Twenty good years of about twenty-five [D]

One, two, three

[CHORUS 1]
[G]Rock and roll's been very very good to [D]me
The [A]open road's the [G]only place I wanna [D]be
[G]Rock and roll's been very very good to [D]me
The [A]open road's the [G]only place I wanna [D]be

[VERSE 5]
I'm not [D]crazy about songs that get self-referential
And m[D]ost of this stuff should be kept confidential
Aw but [G]who even gives half-a-fuck anymore
Well, you [D]should know the truth, it's both a blast and a bore
R[A]ock stars were once such mythical creatures
[G]Up there with Presidents, playmates and preachers [D]

[VERSE 6]
Ah, [D]now you just do it 'cause it's what you do
They throw [D]underwear instead of money at you
Now, [G]I've made a living out of shaking my ass
And if you [D]offer me an office, I'd have to pass
But our [A]jobs are all jobs and sometimes they suck
I [G]love what I do, and I've had pretty good luck [D]

[VERSE 7]
All the [D]fans are all clapping and screaming and squealing
And I [D]won't lie to you, that's a pretty sweet feeling
And [G]I might butt heads with the guys in my band
But I [D]never once went to work for The Man
The [A]men and the woman like you have been hurt
We're [G]sharing this night that will soon be a blur
We've been [A]doing this longer than you've been alive
[G]Get on the bus and tell the driver to driv[D]e (one, two, three)

[CHORUS 2]
[G]Rock and roll's been very very good to [D]me
The [A]open road's the [G]only place I wanna [D]be
[G]Rock and roll's been very very good to [D]me
The [A]open road's the [G]only place I wanna [D]be
[G]Rock and roll's been very very good to [D]me
Ah, the [A]open road's the [G]only place I wanna [D]be
I said the [A]open road's the [G]only place I wanna [D]be, ah yeah

[OUTRO]
[D]Yeah, yeah [D]
