    G            D
the record goes
     Em           C
from blue to gold
   G              D        Em      C
so thank you for all your help
  G              D
I know you want
   Em               C
to twist and shout
    G          D          Em     C
but try to contain yourself
 
           C                G               D
you always struck me as the type to take it lightly
               C             G                  D
but now you're gonna have to shut your mouth or fight me...

     Em               C
what do you care
       G        D         Em      C
you're so much above that scene
 
                  C                  G         D
but you've got no right to sit there saying I abuse it
              C                    G                   D
when you only sleep with girls who say they like your music
 
Em                      C

the open road
   G             D        Em   D
