Em                          G    
Twenty-two years ago today came 
                   C
back from the dead. Homecoming was 
short and sweet,
Em                      Em       
I remember how it read. It said 
                     G             
the war was over but the battle in 
      Am
me began.
                  D                
Put it on my tab, please don’t roll
    Em

[Chorus]
        C                          
Roll me out into a world that made 
   G                         D

                     Em
into a road I used walk

   F#     G             C        
on my own feet. Where I stare at 
                                G  
eyes of strangers, and they'll 
                 C
never look back and see. A
                        D        
light as bright as this daylight, 
                 Em
come on roll me out.


[Verse]
Em                                
I swear I’ve said a million times 
        G

That life don’t change at all
              Em                   
for me. I change it at my will. And
      Em                        
 I’ll never feel the shiver from 
       G
this girl's hand on my
           C           D          
knee. At least, maybe she, can 
      Em
roll me out.


[Chorus]
        C                       
Roll me out into the night time; 
       G                           
I’ll smoke whatever you got. Roll 
   D
me out but don’t feel

sorry at least my memory wasn’t 
   G              C               
shot. I didn’t leave the glass 
              G
half empty, no I drank every
   C                       
drop.  In my mind I’m still 
   D                       Em
standing, come on roll me out.


[Solo]


[Verse]
          Em                       
At best they'll name a park bench 
     G                            
in my honour when I’m done. I hope
C               D
 I’m buried with my mama's
Em                  Em           
picture and my gun. They’re the 
                            G
only friends that talk to me in my 
darkest time. That
C                           Em
darkness when they lower me down.


[Chorus]
          C                        
Lower me down and talk about when I
       G                           
 was young, and fun, and wild. 
      D
Lower me down and know I
               Em  F#     G 
never hurt a woman or a child. 
            C                      
Please remember I was just like you
        G
 and still knew how to
C       C               D       
smile. Forget you ever had... to
              Em
 ever roll me out.
