F 
We're still in Wisconsin 
Am 
As far as I know 
Dm 
Today was Green Bay 
    Gm 
And tomorrow's Chicago 
C 
Wish I was lying 
                Gm 
But there isn't much to report 
Bb 
My phone is dying 
        F 
So I've got to keep it short 
  
 
F                 Am   Dm 
I just wanted to say...hey 
         Gm             C 
I've been writing you a road song 
         Am        Dm 
It's a cliche, but hey 
     Gm              C 
That doesn't make it so wrong 
        Am                      Dm 
And in between the stops at the Cracker Barrel 
    Gm            C 
And forty movies with Will Ferrell 
  Am              Dm         Gm 
I need some way to occupy my time 
                     C 
So I'm writing you a road song 
  Gm        C            F Fsus4 F 
I sure hope you don't mind  
        Am       D7  Gm              C      F  Fsus4 F 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh  ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh uh huh  


Verse 2:
 
F 
I bought you a light blue 
Am 
T shirt last night 
Dm 
From some band I couldn't stand 
          Gm 
But their logo's alright 
C 
Some kid threw a bottle onstage 
          Gm 
He had an arm like a pro 
Bb 
I know it's getting late 
        F 
I guess I should let you go  

  
                     Am   Dm 
But did I happen to say...hey 
          Gm            C 
I've been writing you a road song 
          Am        Dm 
Don't run away cause hey 
   Gm                 C 
I promise it won't be too long 
            Am                 Dm 
I know it's not what you'd call necessary 
    Gm              C 
And I know that I'm no Steve Perry 
    Am          Dm                 Gm 
But even if you roll your eyes and groan 
                        C 
I'm still writing you a road song 
     Gm      C         F  Fsus4 F 
That you can call your own  
        Am       D7  Gm              C      F  Fsus4 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh  ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh uh huh  


End: F
