The Triffids - Wide Open Road

      [Intro]
G (x5)
        two, three, four
G C G Em Am (x2)

[Verse 1]
         G
Well the drums rolled off in my forehead
        C                   G
and the guns went off in my chest
         Em
Remember carrying the baby for you
Am
Crying in the wilderness

[Verse 2]
       G
I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin
  C               G
I cut them off as limbs
  Em
I drove out over the flatlands
Am
hunting down you and him

[Verse 3]
    G
The sky was big and empty
   C                 G
My chest filled to explode
  Em
I yelled my insides out at the sun
       Am
At the wide open road

[Chorus]
       G
It's a wide open road,
       C         G    Em Am
It's a wide open road

[Verse 4]
G
So how do you think it feels
C               G
sleeping by yourself?
         Em
When the one you love, the one you love
Am
is with someone else

[Chorus]
            G
Then it's a wide open road
       C         G
It's a wide open road
    Em
And now you can go any place
Am
that you want to go

[Bridge]
  G
I wake up in the morning
         C                 G
thinking I'm still by your side
Em
I reach out just to touch you
Am
then I realise

[Chorus]
       G
It's a wide open road,
       C         G    Em Am
It's a wide open road

[Verse 5]
G
So how do you think it feels
C               G
sleeping by yourself?
         Em
When the one you love, the one you love
Am
is with someone else


[Bridge]
  G
I wake up in the morning
         C                 G
thinking I'm still by your side
         (It’s a wide open road)
Em
I reach out just to touch you
(It’s a wide open road)
Am
then I realise
(It’s a wide open road)

[Chorus]
       G
It's a wide open road
       C         G
It's a wide open road
       Em
It's a wide open road
       Am
It's a wide open road
       G
It's a wide open road
       C         G
It's a wide open road
       Em
It's a wide open road
       Am
It's a wide open road
       G
It's a wide open road
       C         G
It's a wide open road
    Em
And now you can go any place
Am
that you want to go

[Outro]
