[Primera Parte]

   E
I’m cutting ties with things that bind
  A
My heart to this world
 C#m                            B
I love you and I’m willing but I cannot

Keep you girl
E                          A
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the

Night
   C#m                            B
The thing about a long rope is you can’t

Hold on too tight

( E  A  C#m  B )

[Segunda Parte]

E                             A
Wooden floors and coffee cups stepped on

And all used up
      C#m                            B
But I reckon that’s what morning are for
   E
And everyone thinks they know me now in
     A
These close minded leave me towns
    C#m                          B
But I’m too young to even know myself

       E      B
There’s wheels running down the
C#m
Interstate
A               E               B
Lord, I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t
        C#m  A
Close to you
        E    B              C#m
There’s time ticking on the interstate
   A            E           B
And Lord, I hate that I ain’t close to
C#m  A
You

[Tercera Parte]

   E                               A
And all my friends have moved away, some

Got jobs and some got saved
     C#m                             B
They talk to me like I am still that kid
   E
The fighting, fiendin' Okie son, the
A
Restless, reckless, hopeful one
    C#m                             B
Who once was proud of everything he did

[Cuarta Parte]

  E               A
Do you remember 25 long legs and loving

Time
C#m                     B
Seems like 10 lifetimes ago
   E
I’m cutting ties with things that bind
  A
My heart to this world
 C#m                            B
I love you and I’m willing but I really

Have to go

       E      B
There’s wheels running down the
C#m
Interstate
A               E               B
Lord, I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t
        C#m  A
Close to you
       E    B              C#m
There’s time ticking on the interstate
   A
I'm fighting fate
   E                 B
And Lord, I hate that I ain’t close to
C#m  Á
You

I’m cutting ties with things that bind
  A
My heart to this world
 C#m                            B
I love you and I’m willing but I cannot

Keep you girl
E                          A
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
   C#m                           B
The thing about high hopes is you can’t

Hold on too tight
