Verse 1
G 
Need a little time off ahead
Climbing out of these trenches
Bm 
G 
D 
Hot bath and a home cooked meal
A 
D 
G 
Little sunlight would do me right
I've been striking out
Been striking these matches
D 
G 
D 
Till my hands catch fire
And the sofa burns my eyes
G 
Well I've been on the road
A long, long time
D 
Long enough to miss  the cut
Long enough to dull the rush
Enough to make a
G 
Moriarty blush
Enough to make friends and lose touch
Em 
Well, enough is enough
G 
A 
Or maybe I'll finally cold
Em 
Yeah, well, enough is enough
A 
D 
Or maybe I'll finally cold my blood
G 
Got to get back,
got to need a little back beating
D 
I've been strumming,
G 
soul guitar till my fingers bleed
And my skin and nails, stripped away
D 
Yeah, they skipped town,
made their getaway
G 
Em 
G 
They hitched a ride, my wounded pride
D 
They were all looking for
a similar way to unwind
G 
Oh, a little distance from my
Em 
G 
worn -down side
D 
Yeah, a little respite from
my worn -down mind
Em 
I can't blame them, they were right
A 
I won't blame them, they were right
Em 
No, I can't blame them,
A 
they were right to be dumb
G 
D 
G 
D 
Done with so much wrong
G 
Need a little time off her head
Around the bend,
D 
then straddling the double lines
G 
Blurring mile after blurring mile
I got a little angel just standing
in the doorway
D 
Been away so long I can't
A 
tell if my boy thinks I am
G 
Just a friend or a friend amongst
D 
Maybe I just stop by to mow the lawn
G 
Well, I gotta fix this quick
He'll be gone for too long
D 
And he'll be asking things
Thinking about right and wrong
Em 
Well, I gotta sober up
A 
I gotta hold me on
Em 
Yeah, I better study up
A 
We gotta be strong enough
Strong enough
G 
Strong enough to be home
