Kris Delmhorst - Open Road Chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: G  C  Em  D  (2x)  G

                   C       Em
Make it happy ever after
                              D     G
With all the love I've thrown away
                   C       Em
Make some golden tomorrow
                         D   
With everything I left today


             G                     C       
And you could make a mountain of excuses
Em                    D     G
Find me any reason to stay
                             C       Em
But it's too late for making offers
                           D          
Too late for anything that anyone might say


CHORUS:
      G    Em    C
I got open road
         D
Ahead of me
       G       Em     C     D     G
And it goes as far as I can see


                           C         Em
Once you had everything to teach me
                         D      G
Once I had everything to learn
                            C       
Now you can stand beside me one more time
    Em                           D          
And watch these pretty bridges burn


         G                C          
And then you can take the high road
Em                                D     
Way up there where every thing's so clear
    G                      C      
And I will keep wandering around these back alleyways
       Em                            D          
I will try to find my own way out of here


CHORUS:
                 G    Em    C
Try to find that open road
         D
Ahead of me
          G       Em     C     D    
'Cause it goes as far as I can see


BRIDGE:
           F        C
And if the truth be told
            G         D
I'd live my life that way
        G    Em               A
With an open road, nothing to hold
        D
Nothing standing in my way


           G   
And I will leave this sweet new England
             Em   
And I will leave these ghosts of you
       C          
I will climb onto that train
       D     
Find a seat that's got no view


           G  
And I will take what I need with me
          Em   
I will not take what I don't
           C          
And I will say that I'll be back here
      D     
But I know that I won't


           G  
And I will live with empty pockets
           Em   
And I will live with empty sleeves
       C          
I will know that there is nothing 
        D     
In this world I cannot leave


           G  
And I will tell my friends I love them
      Em   
I will hope that they know
            C          
That I need nobody beside me
        D    G          C    G   Em   C   D   G
On this open road___   


OUTRO:  (## repeat and fade to end ##)
               Em
Make it fever
               C
Make it fever
               D
Make it fever
                G
Happy ever day
