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

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

   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
