[Verse 1]
A
I might not make it out
of bed today
         A/F#
But that doesn’t mean
     E            A
that I won’t try
A
I might not say the
things I need to say
         A/F#
But that doesn’t mean
  E      A
I have to lie

[Bridge]
A
‘Cause I’ve been climbing
 up these mountains one
by one
     A/B
And always sure to leave
              D
a trail of crumbs
      A
I’ll brave this storm
until I see the sun
    A/F#             E
And look to you when I don’t
           A
feel so strong

[Chorus]
A
I don’t need fixing,
‘Cause I ain’t broken
              A/F#
I don’t need saving,
E               D
Just someone to hold
               A
‘Cause I been fighting
For both of us
        A/F#
I'm not home yet, But
 E          A
I’m on the road
A
I'm coming home I’m
coming home
        A/F#
I’m not there yet But
 E          A
I’m on the road

I never wanna fall and
let you down

I’ll do my best to keep

How to play On The Road: key, chords and progression

On The Road by Walk off the Earth is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 5 chords: A, A/F#, E, A/B and D.

Listen for A – A/F# – E – A (I – I – V – I in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – doh – soh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
