[Verse 1]
 G
Amazing
    C
I'm driving 'round town in
                   Em
 a beat-up old Mercedes
D              C
 You think I'm crazy
             G
You might be right
    C
But when he smiles,
                         Em
I don't care about the past
D          C
 Just like that

[Pre-Chorus]
  D
I told myself I closed that door
        C
But I'm right back here again
       D
I know half of what I'm
saying don't make no sense
         C
So don't ask me where I've been

[Chorus]
Em              D
 I'm not always right, but still,
    C
 I ain't got time for what went wrong
Em           D                  C
 Where I end up, I don't really care
Em             D
 I'm out of my mind, but still,
      C
 I'm holding on like a rolling stone
Em          D             F
 A thousand miles from anywhere

[Verse 2]
              G
I look in the rear-view
      C
I was talking to you
                       Em
 'fore I realized this madness
D           C
 Before the sadness
      G
Oh, I pick up the phone
and I call back home
    C
But all I get is a dial tone
       Em              D
And instead of hanging up,
            C
I hang my head
