Tom: G
G 320033
C/G 332010
Em 022000
Am x02210
There's a bass run on the 4th beat of every Am bar - 3rd fret A string then open D.
A few ideas for making things a little more interesting.
To pick up on the keyboard line, try playing G6: 320030 instead of (or over, if 2 guitars) the G
at the start of the lines, after the Intro.
In the bridge, you could substitute the G & Am for power chords of G: 355xxx & A5: 577xxx
[Intro]
G G G G
two, three, four
G C/G G Em Am (x2)
[Verse 1]
G C/G G
Well the drums rolled off in my forehead and the guns went off in my chest
Em Am
Remember carrying the baby just for you, crying in the wilderness
[Verse 2]
G C/G G
I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin, I cut them off as limbs
Em Am
I drove out over the flatlands hunting down you and him
[Verse 3]
G C/G G
The sky was big and empty, my chest filled to explode
Em Am
I yelled my insides out at the sun at the wide open road
[Chorus]
G
It's a wide open road
C/G G Em Am
It's a wide open road
[Verse 4]
G C/G G
So how do you think it feels sleeping by yourself?
Em Am
When the one you love, the one you love is with someone else
[Chorus]
G C/G G
Then it's a wide open road, It's a wide open road
Em Am
And now you can go any place that you want to go
[Bridge]

I wake up in the morning thinking I'm still by your side
G Am
I reach out just to touch you then I realise
[Chorus]

It's a wide open road, It's a wide open road
[Verse 5]

So how do you think it feels sleeping by yourself?
