[Verse 1]
     D                                                    G
They know how to tell you that loaded up Tacoma, it ain't gonna take you anywhere
     D                                                   G
They know how to make you feel a little bit guilty 'bout trying to get out of there
     D                                          G
They know a guy that'll take you part time, $12.50 just starting out
     D                                      G
They know it won't be very long till you're turnin' that truck around

[Chorus]
         D                                             G
And they know, how to say you'll never make it on your own, like they've got an "I told you
Bm                         A                   G
So" they're savin' for the day your fading red tail lights are headed back home
         D                                  G
And they know, how to tell you it'll all go wrong
                                Bm             A                     G
How to tell you that road's too long, too far, too damn hard, boy it ain't no way to go
                 D      G
But what do they know

[Verse 2]
     D                                         G
They know how to tell you my shotgun seat's no place for a girl you
              D                                              G
Know who they think I am, I ain't the kind of man you should tie your tomorrows to
     D                                                           G
They know that we're settling, because we ain't settling, moving on don't mean moving up
                D                                     G
Know that we're going too fast, never gonna last, but baby they don't know us

[Chorus]
         D                                             G
But they know, how to say you'll never make it on your own, like they've got an "I told you
Bm                         A                   G
So" they're savin' for the day your fading red tail lights are headed back home
         D                                  G
And they know, how to tell you it'll all go wrong
                                Bm             A                     G
How to tell you that road's too long, too far, too damn hard, boy it ain't no way to go
                 D      G
But what do they know
             Bm      A      G  
What do they know

[Bridge]
     Bm                           A
They know my voice when they hear it on the
         G
Radio station that's playing back home
     Bm                        A
They know all the words to the songs I'm singing
            G
And they know they're gonna sing along

[Chorus]
         D                                             G
But they know, how to say you'll never make it on your own, like they've got an "I told you
Bm                         A                   G
So" they're savin' for the day your fading red tail lights are headed back home
         D                                  G
And they know, how to tell you it'll all go wrong
                                Bm             A                     G
How to tell you that road's too long, too far, too damn hard, boy it ain't no way to go
             D       G
What do they know
             Bm      A      G
What do they know
