[Intro] C  F  Am  G

[First Part]

C
Took a few years to get here brother
F
Greens are greener in the heat of summer
Am               G               C
Calmness on this evenin' seems a drug
C
Graham and Lucas are having kids while
F
Steve’s busy raising his
      Am            G            C
While I climb out a hole I never dug
C
Likely there’s a spot twenty minutes or so
F
Used to get waisted ridin’ rodeo
Am           G          C
Now it’s all mechanical Bull

[Chorus]

        F
Are the old ways dead?
          C
Or livin’ in my head
           G
There’s  a smile on a photo
         F                Am
Catchin’ dust In your old A-part-ment
F
Are the old ways dead?
   C
Or livin’ in my head?
     G              Am
It’s all veneer and up from here
   F
So take a rest

( F  C  G )
( F  Am )

[Segunda Parte]

C
So I’ll set off runnin’ like I said i’s gonna
    F                          Am
And find another rodeo I’m a mechanical bull
        G                    C
Throw a quarter and watch me go
      C
And I get a little sad in the evenins' Knowin’ I’ll
F
Never get a beatin’
           Am                   G                   C
Like being young and dumb again in this life’s long rodeo
C
Maybe I’ll move to Texas
       F
Let my soul grow bored and restless
    Am                G            C
And learn to rope and ride like Le Gros
C
Maybe I’ll learn the mando-and
   F
To pick a banjo too
Am                    G                 C
Ride all night on the highways like Two-Show

[Chorus]

        F
Are the old ways dead?
          C
Or livin’ in my head
           G
There’s  a smile on a photo
         F                Am
Catchin’ dust In your old A-part-ment
F
Are the old ways dead?
   C
Or livin’ in my head?
     G              Am
It’s all veneer and up from here
   F
So take a rest

( F  C )

[Bridge]

     G              Am
It’s all veneer and up from here
   F
So take a rest
     G              Am
It’s all veneer and up from here
   F
So take a rest

[Outro]

C
Took a few years to get here brother
F
Greens are greener in the heat of summer
Am               G               C
Calmness on this evenin' seems a drug
