(verse 1) 
C                Am7 
Mile marker 203, gass gauge leanin on the edge of "E", 
F                                            C - G 
 and I'll be dang if the rain ain't pourin down, 
C                    
There's somethin smokin underneath the hood, 
       Am7 
It's a bangin and a clangin and it can't be good, 
F                                             C - G 
 And it's another fifty miles to the nearest town, 
 
 
(bridge) 
Em7                                       Am7 
Everything I own's in the back in a hefty bag, 
Em7                                            F 
I'm outta cigarettes and I'm down to my last drag, 
 
 
(chorus) 
C 
I'd sure hate to break down here, 
F 
Nothing up ahead or in the rear view mirror, 
G 
out in the middle of nowhere, knowin 
F                         G 
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin, 
C 
So GOD help me keep me movin somehow, 
F 
Don't let me start wishin I was with him now, 
   G                        E (xx6454)     Am (x77555) 
I made it this far without cryin a single tear, 
 F                 G         C 
I'd sure hate to break down here, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
C 
Under fifty thousand miles ago, 
Am7 
Before the bad blood and busted radio, 
F                               C - G 
 You said I was all you'd ever need, 
C 
But love is blind and little did I know, 
Am7 
You were just another dead end road, 
F                                    C - G 
 Paved with pretty lies and broken dreams, 
 
 
(bridge) 
Em7                                   Am7 
Baby leavin you is easier than being gone, 
Em7                                              F    (G) 
I don't know what I'd do if one more thing goes wrong, 
 
 
(chorus) 
C 
I'd sure hate to break down here, 
F 
Nothing up ahead or in the rear view mirror, 
G 
out in the middle of nowhere, knowin 
F                         G 
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin, 
C 
So GOD help me keep me movin somehow, 
F 
Don't let me start wishin I was with him now, 
   G                        E (xx6454)     Am (x77555) 
I made it this far without cryin a single tear, 
 F                 G         Am      F - G 
I'd sure hate to break down here, oh no, 
 
 
(chorus) 
C 
I'd sure hate to break down here, 
F 
Nothing up ahead or in the rear view mirror, 
G 
out in the middle of nowhere, knowin 
F                         G

 F                 G  
I'd sure hate to break down, 
 F                G 
It's too late to turn around, 
 F                 G         C 
I'd sure hate to break down here, 
            Csus - C
