Tom: D
D G D G
[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
