Gm
he had an arm like a pro
A#
i know it’s getting late
F
i guess i should let you go
chorus 2 :
Am Dm
but did i happen to say . . . hey
Gm C
i’ve been writing you a road song
Am Dm
don’t run away cause hey
Gm C
i promise it won’t be too long
Am Dm
i know it’s not what you’d call necessary
Gm C
and i know that i’m no steve perry
Am Dm Gm
but even if you roll your eyes and groan
C
i’m still writing you a road song
Gm C F Fsus4 F
