[Intro]
D G  x4
 
 
[Verse]
D                  G
I came to in a hotel room,
D                   G
Fully clothed the lights down low
D                  G            D G
No idea who I was or where I am
D                   G
It's 4am and I'm way past tired
D                   G
Me and my guitar are wired
D                      G
Pretty soon the guilt'll come kicking in
 
 
[Bridge]
D       E*  F#*  D Em7
I know I've been away too long
Em7                            D    G D
But that roof won't hold itself up
D       E*   F#*     Em7
I'm no good talking on the phone
Em7    F#** G*                  A
When I hear your voice I'm helpless
 
 
[Chorus]
D
I'm starting to feel it
           Bm7
I worry I might have sold my soul
           Em7
For every mile that falls behind me
F#**   G*                A
It's love that pays the toll
D
I'm always leaving
           Bm7
Something inside me has to roam
        Em7
Every goodbye is getting harder
F#**       G*              A
That's the burden of the road...
                 D       G
I'm starting to feel it
 
D G
 
 
[Verse]
D                       G
I wonder honey what you're cooking
D                       G
I think of how the house is looking
D                             G             D G
What colour did you paint the bedroom wall
D                         G
Kiss the children for me will you
D                             G
Goodnight songs just ain't the same here
D                                   G
There's just the sound of strangers in the hall
 
 
[Bridge]
D         E*    F#* D Em7
You know you've been away too long
Em7                          D        G D
When you miss the one you fight with
D           E*  F#*  D  Em7
And though I'm living some fools dream
F#** G*                   A
Honey you know where my heart is
 
 
[Chorus]
D
I'm starting to feel it
           Bm7
I worry I might have sold my soul
           Em7
For every mile that falls behind me
F#**   G*                A
It's love that pays the toll
D
I'm always leaving
           Bm7
Something inside me has to roam
        Em7
Every goodbye is getting harder
F#**       G*              A*
That's the burden of the road...
                 D       G
I'm starting to feel it
 
F Em7 D x2
Ooh Ooh Ooh
 
D G x2
 
 
[Verse]
D                  G
I came to in a hotel room,
D                   G
Fully clothed the lights down low
D                  G            D G
No idea who I was or where I am
