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 



      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 



                 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:  
               Em 
Make it fever 
               C 
Make it fever 
               D 
Make it fever 
                G 
Happy ever day
