Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 It's getting old

I've done this all before

Hotel to motel

Motel means all alone

I sense a recurrence

It's happening again

So let's do it one more time

 Before we go to hell

Grab the keys

Start the car

Take me home

To where my records are

Hit the gas

Take the open road

I'm turning on the stereo

 First thing when I get home

Time's moving on

I haven't slept for days

It's eating me up inside

Inside I've slipped away

I know it's getting closer

I feel I'm almost there

Still one more time can't hurt me

But I won't shed a tear

Grab the keys

Start the car

Take me home

To where my records are

Hit the gas

Take the open road

I'm turning on the stereo

 First thing when I get home

The time has come

Been waiting for so long

It's written on my face

My face has turned to stone

Not asking for your sympathy

I just want out of here

So scratch the day off the month

 And say the coast is clear

Grab the keys

Start the car

Take me home

To where my records are

Hit the gas

Take the open road

I'm turning on the stereo

 First thing when I get home

Grab the keys

Start the car

Take me home

To where my records are

Hit the gas

Take the open road

I've had enough

Now take me home
