A Little Time Off Ahead Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Need a little time off ahead
Climbing out of these trenches
[Bm]Hot [G]bath and a home cooked mea[D]l
[A]Little [D]sunlight would do [G]me right
I've been striking out
Been striking these matches
[D]Till my hands [G]catch [D]fire
And the sofa burns my eyes
Well [G]I've been on the road
A long, long time
Long enough to mis[D]s the cut
Long enough to dull the rush
Enough to make a
[G]Moriarty blush
Enough to make friends and lose touch
[Em]Well, enough is enough
Or maybe [G]I'll [A]finally cold
Yeah, [Em]well, enough is enough
Or maybe [A]I'll finally cold [D]my blood
[G]Got to get back,
got to need a little back beating
[D]I've been strumming,
soul guitar till my fingers [G]bleed
And my skin and nails, stripped away
[D]Yeah, they skipped town,
made their getaway
They [G]hitched a [Em]ride, my [G]wounded pride
They were all [D]looking for
a similar way to unwind
Oh, a [G]little distance from my
[Em]worn[G] -down side
Yeah, a little res[D]pite from
my worn -down mind
I can't [Em]blame them, they were right
I won't [A]blame them, they were right
No, I [Em]can't blame them,
they were right to be [A]dumb
Done with so [G]much [D]wrong[G][D]
[G]Need a little time off her head
Around the bend,
[D]then straddling the double lines
Blurring mile after blurring [G]mile
I got a little angel just standing
in the doorway
[D]Been away so long I can't
tell if my boy thinks I [A]am
[G]Just a friend or a friend amongst
Maybe I [D]just stop by to mow the lawn
Well, I gotta [G]fix this quick
He'll be gone for too long
And he'll be [D]asking things
Thinking about right and wrong
Well, I gotta [Em]sober up
I gotta [A]hold me on
Yeah, I [Em]better study up
We gotta be [A]strong enough
Strong enough
Strong enough to be [G]home
