Capo on 2nd Fret
Into: G
Verse 1
[G]I got a cracked windshield and Mardi Gras beads
[G]Some trucker hats and old hotel keys
We got a [D]dash, full of trash and [G]other bands [C]CD's
Got a [G]cracked windshield and [D]Mardi Gras [G]beads
[G]Breaking points and broken guitar strings
[G]We bet big and we lost everything
Damn near [D]wasted all our 20's [G]chasing down a dr[C]eam
Now we're all [G]breaking points and [D]broken guitar [G]strings
Chorus:
We ain't e[C]ver gonna make it, [G]like I thought we would
So [C]why can't we just pack it up and say we [D]did the best we could
I [G]used to be a decent man, then [G]life just [D]took its to[C]ll
Now I'm just a casualty of rock and roll[G]
[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
Verse 2
[G]Closing time and opening bands
[G]A different town, same old one night stands
Another [D]midnight muse in cowboy boots with [G]X's on her [C]hands
[G]Closing time and [D]opening [G]bands
[G]It's like playing a game you know you'll never win
[G]You're down to your last hand and you're all in
Then a [D]turn of luck and you double up, just to bet it a[G]ll again[C]
You see we're [G]playing a game we [D]know we'll never win[G].
Chorus:
We ain't e[C]ver gonna make it, [G]like I thought we would
So [C]why can't we just pack it up and say we [D]did the best we could
I shoulda been a [G]doctor or a lawyer, or a [G]policeman [D]on pat[C]rol
Instead I'm a casualty of rock and roll[G]
[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
Verse 3
[G]Tell my mama and my daddy that I tried
[G]Tell all my friends and family goodbye
'Cuz if the [D]road is where you live boy, the [G]road is where you'll [C]die
Tell my [G]mama and my [D]daddy that I tr[G]ied
Chorus:
We ain't [C]ever gonna make it, [G]like I thought we would
So [C]why can't we just pack it up and say we [D]did the best we could
I gave my [G]heart to the highway, she [G]returned it [D]full of ho[C]les
We're just casualties of rock and roll[G]
Outro:
