Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A]

[Verse 1]
It's [A]midnight at the de[F#m]pot
And [D]I drag my bags [Bm]in li[G]ne.[D]
Travellin' [C]light, I got to go
But [G]the bus won't be on [A]time.
[F#m]Everybody's look[C#m]ing
half [G]alive.[Em]
Later [D]on [G]the bus arriv[A]es.

[Verse 2]
[A]
They punch my ticket
[F#m]I find a seat
And [D]we move out past the light[G]s.
[D]Come on Driver, [C]where's the heat?
It's [G]cold out in [A]the night.
I keep [F#m]telling to [C#m]myself that
I don't [G]care.[Em]
Come [D]to [G]morrow, I'll be there.
[A]

[Verse 3]
Take [F#m]the Greyhound.
It's a [D]dog of a [E]way to get [C#m]around.
Take the [D]Greyhound.[F#m]
It's [Bm]a dog gone easy [G]way
to get you [A]down.

[Verse 4]
[A]
Tired of watching this [F#m]night go by
So I [D]look across the [G]aisle.
The [D]window's frosted, [C]I can't sleep
But [G]the girl returns [A]my smile.
She re[F#m]minds me of someone
[C#m]I knew back home.[G][Em]
So I [D]doze. [G]So it goes.

[Interlude 1]

[E][C#m][D][F#m][Bm][G]
[A]

[Verse 5]
I'm [A]wrinkled on my stool
[F#m]at the re[D]st stop.[G]
The [D]waitress being [C]cozy with
the [G]highway [A]cop.
[F#m]My coffee's tasting [C#m]tired.
[F#m]My eyes roll over dead.[C#m][A][C#m][F#m]
Got to go out[C#m]side and get the
[G]gas out of my [Em]head.[E]
[D]Oh, [Bm]to be in bed.[A][Am][A][Am]
[D]
[Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][Am]
[D]
You got [Am]me driving.[D]
I'm on your Greyhound bus and
you're [Am]drivi[A]ng.
[Am]

[Verse 6]
But there's nothing new about Greyhounds.
[A]Not[Am]hing new[A] about
[Am]feeling [A]down.
[Am]Nothing [A]new about putting off
[Am]Or p[C]utting myself on[G].

[Interlude 2]
[G][Am]

[Verse 7]
Looking [Am]to tomorrow is the way
the loser hides
[F]I should have realized by now
that all my life's a ride.
It's [D]time to find some happy times
and make myself some friends
I [F]know there ain't no rainbows waiting
[E]when this journey ends.

[Interlude 3]
[E][A]

[Verse 8]
Stepping off this [F#m]dirty bus
first [D]time I understood
[G]It'[D]s got to be the going no[C]t the get
[G]ting there that's [A]good[F#m]
That's a thought for keep
[C#m]ing if I could.[G][Em]
It's [D]got to be [Bm]the going not
the [E]getting there that's [A]good.
