The Road
words & music: Carter Lansing

Intro E Bsus4 Aadd9

E Bsus4
You better watch out or you might get what you wish for.
Aadd9 E Bsus4
Not every open door leads to a dream.
E Bsus4
The Road can twist in ways you can’t imagine.
Aadd9 E Bsus4
It takes more than passion to bring you home.

Aadd9
So pray the rosary, sing the blues,
E
light a candle or light a fuse.
Aadd9
Doesn’t really matter what you do
Bsus4 E Bsus4 Aadd9
as long as you do something.

E Bsus4 Aadd9
Pretty much anything.
E Bsus4 Aadd9
Make it up as you go.
E Bsus4 Aadd9
Everybody else does.
E Bsus4 Aadd9

E
Cause the only thing that we’ve got is time
Bsus4
and it’s absurd and it’s sublime
Aadd9
but it’s the only thing we have to hold onto till the
E Bsus4
end of the line.
E
So kiss your mama and hug your friends
Bsus4 Aadd9 E Bsus4
I’m sorry Mr. Keen but the party’s gonna end sometime.

Aadd9
And you’re gonna be lonely and you’re gonna be scared
E
You’re gonna be on top and feel unprepared
Aadd9 Bsus4 E
nearly every single minute out of every single day that you’re living.

Bsus4 Aadd9

E Bsus4 Aadd9
So just keep living.
E Bsus4 Aadd9
It’s all you gotta do.
E Bsus4 Aadd9
Find out how it ends.
