Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
When you look [A]through the
lights [Am]to the stage
You see the man [Dm]of your dreams
[Am][F]
You think his [Bb]life's full of
parties and [Gm]love
But it's not [C]what it seems
If you could [A]see in his room
[Am]right now
You'd see how much love
[A]is showed[F]
There's never really any ro
[Esus4]mance on [E]the ro[A]ad

[Verse 2]
[A]
His forehead seems cut in two
By the [Am]crease in [F]his [A]brown[F]
He chews his nails [Bb]and he fidgets
[Gm]Just tryin' to settle on down[C]
[Am]The TV channels keep flippin'
His adrenaline [F]slowed
There's [Dm]never really any [E]romance on the [A]road,
oh no

[Verse 3]
There's never [Gm]romance [C]on [F]the road
Only frus[Gm]tration and over[Eb]load
He could fall in [Bb]love but he'd
never [Gm]know
For she's only [Bb]riding and
[Dm]he's only hiding
He's sure to [C]ask but she won't
[Gm]say,"No"
But there's [C]never really any
romance on the road
[F]

[Verse 4]
He was [Am]up in t[A]he bar straight- backed
Did you see him [F]before?[A]
Did [F]he sign you his [Bb]name?
Come with [Gm]me, listenin' at his d[C]oor
Hear [Am]himself so [A]drunk calling home
Can't [Am]remember the [A]code[F]
You know, there's [Dm]never really
any [E]romance on the [A]road
Oh no, no, no

[Verse 5]
He's held some [D]beautiful girls in his arms
But now he clutches his [A]bunk
For all [E]the good that
they're doing him now
He might as well be [Eb]a monk
For his [Bb]memories ain't worth a [F]thing
Till he's old and [Gm]he's gone
And his [D]past never quite
catches [G]up
The show's movin' [E]on[Esus4][E]

[Verse 6]
[E]
Did [A]he say he kept a picture
Of [G]a blonde haired [Am]girl
who'd been [F]kind?
When [Bb]he was last home,
his own [Gm]daughter
Brought it into [C]his mind
Maybe [Am]closing [A]bars a[Am]nd jets
[Bm]Paid some debts that[Am] he owed[F]
But there's [Dm]never really any ro
[E]mance on the road
[A]

[Verse 7]
There's never [Gm]romance [C]on the [F]road
Only frus[Gm]tration and over[Bb]load[Eb]
He's never learned [Bb]a thing
from the dust that [Gm]blowed
On stage for an [Bb]hour,
on a laser [Dm]beam tower
But you know [C]he slept while
the neon [Gm]glowed
There's [C]never really any romance
on [F]the road

[Verse 8]
[F]
There's never [Gm]romance [C]on the [F]road
Only frus[Gm]tration and overload
[Eb]He could fall in love [Bb]but
he'd never [Gm]know
For she's only [Bb]riding
[Dm]and he's only hiding
He's sure to [C]ask but she won't say,
[Gm]"No"
There's [C]never really any
romance on [F]the road
