Intro B E B E
verse 1
B
Someday somebody's gonna stop and look
G#m
Or scratch their head and say
E
'What happened to him? It's been a while since I heard that name'
B
The story goes
I told one last joke, bum one more smoke
G#m E
And then paid my tab and just disappeared one day
Pre-Chorus
C#m E
I've kicked around this old town long enough to see
C#m
The one's who left to soon
E
And the ones who didn't know when to leave
B E
And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel
B E
I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell
G#m
Be thankful for the friends I've made
E
The hungry years, the glory days
B E
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
B
That's how I'm going out
E B E
verse 2
B
When I go
G#m
I'll be another page torn away, a memory made
E
Another ghost on music road
B
But I can say I gave it hell, I rang the bell
G#m E
But I'll know when there's no more dreams to chase
B E
And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel
B E
I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell
G#m
Be thankful for the friends I've made
E
The hungry years, the glory days
B E
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
G#m E B F#
That's how I'm going out
G#m E B F#
That's how I'm going out
B E
And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel
B E
I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell
G#m
No slowing down, no looking back
E
Let the credits roll and fade to black
B E
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
B E
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
B E
That's how I'm going out
B E
That's how I'm going out
