Rand McNally Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Dm][F][C]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Rand McNally atlas,
[C]cheap coffee stain
Now, [F]I wouldn't know how to use one
With [C]my life at stake
You [Am]were waiting on a [C]payphone
At a truck stop in Houston
[F]Trying to call your mother
[C]'Cause she's a worrier
[Am]Handful of twenties in y[C]our overcoat
Always [F]rolled into a pillow
[C]On some stranger's floor
[Am]And you tell these stories
[C]with happy endings
[F]Only when interrupted
[C]before they're over
But [F]I

[Verse 2]
won't let the light fade
[C]I won't let the light fade
Chasing these [Am]roads in[C]to [Am]dawn[C]
[F]I won't let the light fade
[C]I won't let the light fade
Falling asleep [G]in their [Am]arms

[Interlude 1]
[C][Dm][F][C]

[Verse 3]
[Am]It seemed these highways
[C]were never-ending
Circling [F]Circling odds and evens,
[C]the numbers ascending
[Am]Searching through static
[C]in the Wyoming plains
We [F]danced to both kinds of music,
[C]as the old joke claims
And [Am]I wanted for nothing,
[C]I couldn't rent
We [F]lived on whiskey and
[C]Twizzlers
And youth's discontent
With [Am]this Rand [C]McNally atlas
dog-eared and frayed
Like [F]Old Testament verses
[C]That make sense sense in this decade
[F]Don't let the lig[C]ht

[Verse 4]
fade
I won't let the light fade
Chasing these [Am]roads in[C]to [Am]dawn[C]
[Dm]I won't let the light fade[Am]
I won't let the light fade
[C]Falling asleep in [G]their arm[Am]s
[C]I w[F]on't let the light fade
[C]I won't let the light fade
[G]Chasing these roads into daw[Am]n
Now I'm [Dm]holding

[Verse 5]
on, [F]holding on

[Verse 6]
[F]I[Am][C][F]
[C]won[Am]'t let
the light fade
I won't [C]let the light fade
[F]I w[C]on'[Am]t let the light fade
[C]I won't let the light fade
[F]I w[C]on'[Am]t let the light fade
[C]I won't let the light fade
[F]
