 Am   C   G   Dx2
[Verse 1]
AmSun shinin' down on Cme, and I can’t Gsee, because of the sDhine
My hAmat’s pointed down to the Ccrowd, and I’m lookin' oGut at all I wanna Dbe
AmWith a pistol in my haCnd and a yearnin' in my hGeart, and frivolous eDmotions
I say wAmandering's a waste of time to Cme, I’ve got to Grun, I’ve got to be DfreeD  
[Verse 2]
So I Ammove on down the rCoad with my one best frGiend, sittin' by my sDide
I’ve Amhad others friends and loved Cgirls too, but they’ve all gone and lGeft me, left me here with Dyou
Which sAmeems to work out just fCine, 'cause there’s no one to hGold me back from my liDfe
Well IAm’m gettin' tired of dCrivin', so I’ll step asGide and let you take the Dwheel
[Chorus]
So wCill you take me home tGonight?
Or am I left to rEmide this lonesome tDrain?
My deCcisions have given you the rGight
You will Emdecide, where I will Dgo
Am C G D D
[Verse 3]
Like a Amlost tortured sea, they will rColl and faGll, only to rise agDain
I fAmind it hard sometimes to justifyC, is this Ggreed or is this rightD?
Is this rAmeal, am I wrong, is lCife not a song? Is to Gwant something I should not knoDw?
But if rAmeal is right, and Cgreed is wrong, then if GI walk away, am I not gDone?
[Chorus]
So wiCll you take me home toniGght?
Or am I left to Emride this lonesome Dtrain?
My dCecisions have given you the Gright
You will decEmide, where I will Dgo     x3

*Chords Relative to Capo*

[Intro]

G C G G

Am C G D

[Verse 1]

Am C G D

Sun shinin' down on me, and I can’t see, because of the shine

Am C G D

My hat’s pointed down to the crowd, and I’m lookin' out at all I wanna be

Am C G D

With a pistol in my hand and a yearnin' in my heart, and frivolous emotions

Am C G D D

I say wandering's a waste of time to me, I’ve got to run, I’ve got to be free

[Verse 2]

Am C G D

So I move on down the road with my one best friend, sittin' by my side

Am C G D

I’ve had others friends and loved girls too, but they’ve all gone and left me, left me here with you

Am C G D

Which seems to work out just fine, 'cause there’s no one to hold me back from my life

Am C G D

Well I’m gettin' tired of drivin', so I’ll step aside and let you take the wheel

[Chorus]

C G

So will you take me home tonight?

Em D

Or am I left to ride this lonesome train?

C G

My decisions have given you the right

Em D

You will decide, where I will go

Am C G D D

[Verse 3]

Am C G D

Like a lost tortured sea, they will roll and fall, only to rise again

Am C G D

I find it hard sometimes to justify, is this greed or is this right?

Am C G D

Is this real, am I wrong, is life not a song? Is to want something I should not know?

Am C G D

But if real is right, and greed is wrong, then if I walk away, am I not gone?

[Chorus]

C G

So will you take me home tonight?

Em D

Or am I left to ride this lonesome train?

C G

My decisions have given you the right

Em D

You will decide, where I will go x3
