The Rock Song
Max Stalling
Capo 1
intro   C    Em    F    G  
CLike the rocks that line this Emroad I drive
My Fwords might a have seemed so Ghard
CBut not a one was penEmned unkind
TheFy were pieces of my Gheart
CA weak attempt to expEmlain some things
ThaFt were weighting on my Gmind
CNow I find my bigEmgest crime
Was Fkeeping too much too Glong inside
CJudging by my gEmauges 
I nFeed to think about finding Ggas
CBut my minds been mEmore than full
ThiFnking of you as the miles role Gpast
Chorus:
FI'm rolling down this Ghighway
Trying to get a ChandG/Ble on eAmvents
With Fone hand on the Gsteering wheel
CAnd one hand G/Bon the AmwindF  G  
FI hope it all maGde sense
EmI hope it all made some Csense
insturmental:
CI thought it would be Embetter
If I'd Fpaint my thoughts with Gink
CIt seems my mouth don'Emt work so well
FExpressing what I tGhink
CLike the gravel on the Emroad
Kicked Fup by the passing Gtrucks
CWords fly Emback in my face
And crack the Fwindshields I put Gup
Repeat chorus:
CI would like nothing Embetter 
Than for Fthis to have worked ouGt right
CThat's why I left that Emletter
On your Fcar the other Gnight
CNow it seems so Emhigh school
But it seemed Fso right at the Gtime
CYou get a letter on your Emwindshield
FI get away behind mGine
Repeat chorus:
