Intro: G Am D7 (x2)
verse 1
G Am D7
I rolled down the window for some air, Stuck my elbow out the car
G Am D7
When I heard the music playin', From a jukebox, honky-tonkin' bar
C D G
I went and shuffled through the tunes, For the one thing that I knew, that song of ours
Am D7 G Gmaj7
When lovin' you was hard, my Indiana rose
Am D7 G
So play it one more time, one more for the road
verse 2
Am D7
We used to sit out on the porch, With all that sweet corn shinin' in the breeze
G Am D7
Like the way you used to dance, With all them children wrapped around your knees
C D G
Though, now I find myself, Waitin' on somethin’ else to comfort me
Am D7 G Gmaj7
The way it used to be, my Indiana rose
Am D7 G
So play it one more time, one more for the road
D C G
Because that old song was all we left behind
D G C
Those regrets, I feel 'em all the time
Am G Am
The love we once had, it's hard to find
D7
Now it's hard to know
verse 3
G Am D7
Goin' through the motions ain't enough, If no one's playin' fair
G Am D7
When all you wanted was, Someone to come home with somethin' to share

Because everybody knows, with a promise
G Am D7 G Gmaj7
There's a reason to care, And I was never there, my Indiana rose

So play it one more time, one more for the road

Those regrets, I feel 'em all the time

The love we once had, it's hard to find
