C                        G
I was a selfish young man when I lost my granddaddy
Am                     F                     C   G
 Fell in love to the B-side of "Shootenanny!"
         C                         G
Got more bottles than leaves on my family tree
     Am                           F          C   G
Late nights, early flights is the life for me

[Pre-Chorus]
    F           G
You burn by the fire
       F             G
Or get choked by the smoke
          C
Well, the thunder does the talking
        E
But the lightning does the work
      G
O-o-o-oh o-oh

[Chorus]
G7       C  F
Carry me home
                      C  F
I'm no good when I'm alone
                      C  F
I'm burned out to the bone
               G
Can't tell I'm cryin'
           G6
'Cause I'm stoned
            Am             F    C
Dragging my love along the long road

[Verse 2]
         C                    G
Get your shoes on, get in the car, get the lead out
    Am                      F                     C   G
Get over yourself, get everything you need set out
    C                       G
One hand on the heater, the other flippin' the radio
Am                           F                     C   G
Full moon fever, full cup of coffee on an open road

[Pre-Chorus 2]
        F            G
But the sun's coming up
        F            G
Hits my heart like a drug
     C
When all my wasted efforts
    E
Are piled in a truck
      G
O-o-o-oh o-oh

[Chorus]
G7       C  F
Carry me home
                      C  F
I'm no good when I'm alone
                      C  F
I'm burned out to the bone
               G
Can't tell I'm cryin'
           G6
'Cause I'm stoned
            Am             F    C
Dragging my love along the long road

[Verse 3]
           C                             G
Before the same old tricks, fell for the lie, fell from grace
     Am                      F                      C   G
Fell far behind, fell out of time, fell out of place
        C                                  G
Falling backwards, fell over, fell off the face of the earth
          Am                   F                           C       G
Fell in a bucket of luck, arms flailing, free falling face first, mhmm

[Pre-Chorus 3]
       F             G
But at night we were free
       F           G
Mirror pond on the sea
    C
I'm lookin' out for you
        E
Are you lookin' out on me?
    G
O-o-oh oh

[Chorus]
G7       C  F
Carry me home
                      C  F
I'm no good when I'm alone
                      C  F
I'm burned out to the bone
               G
Can't tell I'm cryin'
           G6
'Cause I'm stoned
            Am             F    C
Dragging my love along the long road
   F        C  F   G C
Ah-ah, long road
