verse 1 
G                    Bm 
Dark sky blue with a bright red crown. 
Em                   C 
The invitation every city and town. 
G              Bm 
Ready to go in-to the unknown. 
Em                      C 
I don't know the if and whens of coming home. 


PREChorus 1 
   Am                                          G 
My future crept up on me, much like a heart at-tack 
Am                                               G    D 
Straight life is calling me, and I ain’t calling back 


Chorus 
G                     C 
Out, out on the inter-state 
G                     C  
Out, out on the inter-state 
G                     C 
Out, out on the inter-state 
D 
Out on the interstate again. Fig. 1 


verse 2 
G                              Bm 
On either side it's a fern and creek, 
Em                            C 
And nothing but black asphalt, in between. 
G                     Bm 
It's not safe to drive in the rear-view 
Em               C 
It's what lies a-head that can kill you 


PREChorus 2 
   Am                                           G 
My future crept up on me much like a heart attack. 
Am                                                  G    D 
The straight life is calling me, but I aint calling back. 


Chorus 
Solo: G Bm Em C x4 


PREChorus 3 
       Am                                   G 
And re-ality is bangin' hard on my bathroom door. 
    Am                                          G    D 
And nobody calls me ‘cause I don't answer it no more.
