Intro: G A D

Talking to myself again 
                                    A       
And wondering if this traveling is good 

Is there something else a' doing 
                    D 
We'd be doing if we could 
    G       A              D 
And ah, the stories we can tell 
    G               A              D  
And if it all blows up and goes to Hell 
      G            A            D             G 
I can still see us sitting on a bed in some motel 
D                A              D 
Listening to the stories we can tell 

D 
Remember that guitar in a museum in Tennessee 
                                        A 
The nameplate on the glass brought back twenty melodies 
        D                             G 
And the scratches on the face told of all the times he’d fell 
D             A              D 
Singing every story he could tell 
    G       A                D 
And ah, the stories he could tell 
         G                A            D 
And I'll bet you it still rings like a bell 
      G                  A             D             G 
And I wish that we could sit back on a bed in some motel 
    D             A                D 
And listen to the stories it could tell 

G A D 

   D 
So if you're on the road a-tracking down your every night 
                                    A 
And singing for a living ‘neath the brightly colored lights 
    D                          G 
And if you ever wonder why you ride this carousel 
       D              A                 D 
Eh you did it for the stories you could tell 
    G       A              D 
And ah, the stories we can tell 
      G              A             D 
And I wouldn't kid a man I like so well 
      G                  A             D             G 
And I wish that we could sit back on a bed in some motel 
    D             A              D 
And listen to the stories we can tell 

    G       A              D 
And ah, the stories we can tell 
    G               A              D 
And if it all blows up and goes to Hell 
      G            A            D             G 
I can still see us sitting on a bed in some motel 
     D                A              D 
Just listening to the stories we can tell
