Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
E A E
E B
E A C#m B
E A C#m B
[Verse 1]
E A
I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
C#m B
I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl
E A
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
C#m B
The thing about a long rope is you can’t hold on too tight
[Interlude]
E A C#m B
[Verse 2]
E A
Wooden floors and coffee cups stepped on and all used up
C#m B
But I reckon that’s what morning are for
E A
And everyone thinks they know me now in these close minded leave me towns
C#m B
But I’m too young to even know myself
[Chorus]
E B C#m
There’s wheels running down the interstate
A E B C#m A
Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you
E B C#m
There’s time ticking on the interstate
A E B C#m A
And Lord I hate that I ain’t close to you
[Interlude]
E B C#m A
[Verse 3]
E A
And all my friends have moved away, some got jobs and some got saveds
C#m B
They talk to me like I am still that kid
E A
The fighting, fiendin Okie son, the restless, reckless, hopeful one
C#m B
Who once was proud of everything he did
[Verse 4]
E A
Do you remember 25 long legs and loving time
C#m B
Seems like 10 lifetimes ago
E A
I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
C#m B
I love you and I’m willing but I really have to go
[Chorus]
E B C#m
There’s wheels running down the interstate
A E B C#m A
Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you
E B C#m A
There’s time ticking on the interstate, I'm fighting fate
E B C#m Á
And Lord I hate that I ain’t close to you
[Interlude]
E B C#m A
[Verse 5]
E A
I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
C#m B
I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl
E A
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
C#m B
The thing about a long rope is you can’t hold on too tight
I'm cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing but I cannot keep you, girl
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
The thing about a long rope is you can't hold on too tight
Wooden floors and coffee cups
Stepped on and all used up
But I reckon that's what morning are for
And everyone thinks they know me now
In these close-minded leave-me towns
But I'm too young to even know myself
There's wheels running down the interstate
Lord, I'll wait another day, 'cause I ain't close to you
There's time ticking on the interstate
And Lord, I hate that I ain't close to you
And I'll my friends have moved away
Some got jobs and some got saved
They talk to me like I am still that kid
The fighting, fiendin' Okie son
The restless, reckless, hopeful one
Who once was proud of everything he did
Do you remember twenty-five
Long legs and loving time?
Seems like ten lifetimes ago
I'm cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing, but I really have to go
There's wheels running down the interstate
But, Lord, I'll wait another day, 'cause I ain't close to you
There's time ticking on the interstate
I'm fighting fate
And, Lord, I hate that I ain't close to you
I'm cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing, but I cannot keep you, girl
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
The thing about high hopes is you can't hold on too tight
