Turnpike Troubadours - Pipe Bomb Dream

      [Intro]
C    Am    C    Am

[Verse 1]
C                                  Am
Tonight we're fighting in a losing war
C                                      Am
Don't even remember what we're fighting for
F                       C
Running on hope and gasoline
C                                      Am
Got a real bad feeling it's a pipe bomb dream

[Chorus]
       F
Well I did a little something for the brave and free
        C
Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me
F
Took a few too many liberties
       C                  G
It's a hard ass lesson to learn
C                           F
Roll the dice just one more turn
C                                        Am
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C                               Am
Driving all night with a steady hand
C                                           Am
Bringing a heavy rig home from the promised land
F                            C
Oklahoma City by the morning sun
C                                        Am
I ain't never met a problem that I can't outrun

[Chorus]
  F
I did a little something for the brave and free
        C
Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me
F
Took a few too many liberties
       C                  G
It's a hard ass lesson to learn
C                                 F
But I roll the dice just one more turn
C                                       Am
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn

[Verse 3]
           C                                Am
Well I was riding high when the lights came on
      C                        Am
I was 45 miles from the county line
F                                C
Hit a jackpot once went back for more
        C                             Am
From an old pipe dream to a cell block floor

[Chorus]
F
Say it's alright but you know it's not
           C
And you're breaking up laws and you wind up caught
     F
It's everything or all for naught
       C                  G
It's a hard ass lesson to learn
      C                           F
But I roll the dice just one more time
C                                        Am
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn
C                                        Am
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn
