Cadd9  G  Em  D  x2

[Verse 1]
Cadd9       G      Em   D
 We all got troubles
Cadd9       G    Em   D
 We all got pain
      Cadd9       G   Em   D
Yeah, everybody's got
          Cadd9         G      Em   D
Their own versions of cocaine
Cadd9      G              Em          D
  Nobody's perfect like a  thorn on a rose
           Cadd9          G         Em            D
I've got a closet full of skeletons underneath my clothes
Cadd9     G       Em               D
 Long overdue for confessing my confession
        Am        G             Em           D
I'm the hypocrite poster boy perfecting imperfection

[Chorus]
          Cadd9            G             Em               D
Take your heart out on the highway (Your heart out on the highway)
         Cadd9         G              Em            D
When you hit the road again (When you hit the road again)
              Cadd9          G                Em             D
You're always treating every stranger (Always treating every stranger)
         Cadd9            G                Em               D
That you meet like an old friend (That you meet like an old friend)

[Verse 2]
          Cadd9          G      Em   D
Your life doesn't have a rewind
         Cadd9          G    Em   D
So don't live it with regret
        Cadd9        G   Em   D
And you better watch out
          Cadd9          G     Em   D
Where you flick your cigarette
    Cadd9             G       Em                  D
So, don't be starting fires unless you're getting cold
       Cadd9            G          Em              D
Mix it up with wine and music and a   loved one to hold
Cadd9          G                     Em               D
 I don't throw stones, don't want no one throwing 'em back
   Am                G              Em                 D
So save yourself the trouble and go cut the world some slack

[Chorus]
              Cadd9            G             Em               D
You take your heart out on the highway (Your heart out on the highway)
         Cadd9         G              Em            D
When you hit the road again (When you hit the road again)
              Cadd9          G                Em             D
You're always treating every stranger (Always treating every stranger)
         Cadd9            G                Em 
That you meet like an old friend (That you meet like an old friend)

[Bridge]
     D         Am       Em   G  D
Just like an old friend
         Am  Em   G  D
Ah ah-ah ah

 We all got pain
      C           G   Em  D
Yeah, everybody's got
          C             G      Em  D
Their own versions of cocaine
Cadd9         G                   Em               D
 Left wing or right wing it takes   both wings for flight
          Cadd9             G               Em                D
Can't you hear the children singing red and yellow, black and white
Cadd9         G                 Em           D
 So stop your fighting, start uniting, sing along
  Am            G              Em         D
I think we all agree we love a  Tom Petty Song

[Chorus]
N.C.                               Em   D
Take your heart out on the highway
         Cadd9         G              Em            D
When you hit the road again (When you hit the road again)

You take your heart out on the highway (Heart out on the highway)
         Cadd9         G              Em            D
When you hit the road again (When you hit the road again)
              Cadd9          G                Em             D
You're always treating every stranger (Always treating every stranger)
         Cadd9            G                Em 
That you meet like an old friend (That you meet like an old friend)
