Intro: D C G D

Verse 1:
Hard words have been spoken
And my heart it lays wide open
And all you can say is that “it’s not my fault”
You watch me while I’m packin’
Goodbyes like these just happen
But my life, it’s come crashin’ to a halt

Bridge 1:
Wonder where I’ll go
Girl if you really must know

Chorus:
You can find me all alone
Som[G/B]ewhere in San Antone
Sittin’ by the river
Tr[G/B]ying to let you go
It’ll take a week or two
Just to get over you
But I think I’m better on my own
In San Antone

Verse 2:
I’ll make it by the morning with a little luck
I’m gonna drive like the gas pedals stuck
And push my beat up pickup truck as fast as it can go
The only thing that I’ve got is time
And a lot of worries on my mind
I won’t stop ‘til I hit that Texas line, then I’m free to roam

Bridge 2:
If you have a change of heart
And want to make a brand new start

Chorus

In San Antone

Solo and End: D C G (fade out)

I’ve got the streets memorized
I see the faces embedded in my mind
I can’t keep on fighting the urge go
I’ve got nothing in common with this town I’ve come to know

Chorus:
(So) I am so close now to walking away
About to walk a path I’ve gotta take
I am packing up heading out
I can’t sleep I’m dreaming way too loud
I’m so close now, so close now, to getting out

The same old lines, the same routine
Nothing changes and that’s not good for me
I need a break. I need something new
I need to replace these old worn out broken shoes
[(Cus)]
I am so close now to walking away
About to walk a path I’ve gotta take
I am packing up heading out
I can’t sleep I’m dreaming way too loud
I’m so close now, so close now
to getting out

(Solo)

(Strum Once)
I’ve got that truck all loaded down
I should’ve known how hard it’d be leave this town

I am….
So close now to walking away
About to walk a path I’ve gotta take
I am packing up heading out
I can’t sleep I’m dreaming way too loud
I’m so close now, so close now, to getting out

Chorus:

Waiting on life to Level
Waiting on something stable
Maybe soon I”ll be able
To rest my head again

Verse 2:

Never thought I”d see the day, I”d hear the old man say
It could end this way, why did it end this way
And the young kids know, they”ll be on their own
And you can”t go home no you can”t go home

Chorus:

Waiting on life to Level
Waiting on something stable
Maybe soon I”ll be able
To rest my head again

Verse 3:

Ups and Downs, what goes around comes around
They don”t get the hint downtown they try to hold you down

Chorus:

Waiting on life to Level
Waiting on something stable
Maybe soon I”ll be able
To rest my head again

Bridge

:Verse 1:
Everyday someone asks me whats my story and what do I like to do
And everyday, for the most part, I only go so far; I almost never tell the truth
Cause the truth is behind me theres not much, to give up, I like simple, not complicated

:Chorus:

(Cause) Im a small town kid, driven by rock music And some honky-tonk, in the mix
I like whiskey in coke, a double to the top, a shot of cuervo now and then
I never ask for a lot, Ill never need much, just a good-looking lady who can drive my truck
Im not afraid to admit, Im that small town kid

Bridge

City lights, yellow cabs, Yankee hats, Suits and ties everywhere
These City folks, they look at me in my shirt and jeans, they make me think I dont fit in here
Well the things they say might be right, they might be so but one thing I know: I
cant change who I am
Chorus

Bridge:
Mama dont you worry
They won’t change me
A hundred thousand miles
Mean nothing to me
Chorus

Intro: Am F G (x2)

Verse 1:
An old guitar he learned to play
He’d never make something of it all his friend’s would say
But he played anyway

Growing up he was countin’ down
The day he left his hometown
He was moving to music city

Chorus:
He was so uncertain if he was making a right choice
He bought a one way ticket to a place he’d never been
He was so uncertain

Verse 2:
He made it there but never got far playin’ to empty bars
That’s where he caught her eye
It was love at a heavy price his dreams he’d have to sacrifice
Oh, just to be with her

Chorus

Bridge:
Can’t tell you why all he sees is the blue sky in her eyes

Solo (same as Verse)

Chorus (x2)

End: Am

Intro: Am Am Em x4

Cross my arm is that old ink stain
God I wish I could erase that name
Reminds me that Im the one to blame
I used to think that rules were made for breakin
Now I question every road Ive taken
And I regret every heart Ive forsaken
Heres my confession

The mistakes Ive made
Are comin back to haunt me
Like a ghost from a grave
Always there to taunt me
You say its OK
You say you still want me
But you dont know where Ive been
Im no stranger to my sins
Am Am Em x2
Ive got skeletons

Ive got skeletons

You tell me how a man can be forgiven
Start clean on the life hes livin
How do you run from a demon
Ive tried every single thing I know
It just wont let me go
Im tired of walking down the same damn road
Towin this load

The mistakes Ive made
Are comin back to haunt me
Like a ghost from a grave
Always there to taunt me
You say its OK
You say you still want me
But you dont know where Ive been
Im no stranger to my sins
Am Am Em x4
Ive got skeletons

Ive got skeletons

The mistakes Ive made
Are comin back to haunt me
Like a ghost from a grave
Always there to taunt me
You say its OK
You say you still want me
But you dont know where Ive been
Im no stranger to my sins
But you dont know where Ive been
Im no stranger to my sins
Am Am Em x4
Ive got skeletons

Ive got skeletons

Verse 1

I’m a runner that’s what I do don’t be surprised when I run from you
When you turn around I’ll be gone.
I wont leave cuz of something ya said nobody will know which way that I went
Beat ya to the door before you get the chance

Chorus

It aint the falling in love I’m scared of it aint the moonlight
shining in your eyes it aint the falling baby cuz the fallen
I’ve always liked
I’m good at being lonely lonely's all I got
It aint the fallin in love that’ll kill me, it’s the sudden stop

Verse 2
Love me now we can’t wast time I’m not the kind who likes to stay all night
Once the sun comes up there’s to much at stake
Never wanted a one night stand but a broken heart can really change a man
You’re the kind of girl who can really hurt me bad.

Repeat Chorus (above)

Bridge
I can’t afford to fall again, cuz if you leave yea you know
nobody wins.

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse
I sit here in my bed, with you in my head, haunting my mind
I think of all we had, all the good and bad and all of the times
We’d sit down and talk, sometimes till three or four o'clock in the morning

Verse
I live in misery, haunted by your memory, and the love that I felt
Guess that was not enough, you fell out of love, something you couldn’t help
I guess now I see; that’s the way it’s gotta be

Chorus:
Fates got a plan for us, even when our lives get rough
You make up, break up, you fall, you get back up
Can’t you see; that’s the way it’s gotta be

Verse
We run around these streets, looking for company, someone to hold
At the end of the night, we give up our fights, and go home alone
We give up on love, and we say we’ve had enough of the game

Chorus

E C#m A B 2x

Verse
We walk around in circles, were all just jumping hurdles, just trying to get by
We take life in stride, and swallow our pride, all to survive
Can’t you see; that’s the way it’s gotta be

Fates got a plan for us, even when our lives get rough
You make up, break up, you fall, you get back up
Can’t you see; that’s the way, that’s the way, that’s the way it’s gotta be

E C#m A B 2x

Verse 1:
You’ve got a heart that’s broken and a will that’s given up
A cynical mind and a soul that’s worn and rough
You’re a fighter, no one can get the best of you
Don’t let ‘em stay to close that’s why you play every man for a fool

Chorus:
I don’t care you can live your life alone
Was only tryin’ to show you how to love again
Tried and tried to chip away your heart of stone
Was only tryin’ to show you how to love again

Verse 2:
How are you gonna fall if you don’t take that leap
You live in fear, fear of lovin’ me
And I’m givin’ up, I’m givin’ up on you
Because you’ll never change and
Givin’ your heart away is one thing you won’t do

Chorus

Bridge: A B (x4)

Chorus
I don’t care you can live your life alone
Was only tryin’ to show you how to love again
Tried and tried to chip away your heart of stone
Was only tryin’ to show you how to love again

Love Again (x3)
