F# B I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world D#m C# I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl F# B Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night D#m C# The thing about a long rope is you can’t hold on too tight Wooden floors and coffee cups Stepped on and all used up But I reckon that's what mornings are for And everyone thinks they know me now In these close-minded leave-me towns But I'm too young to even know myself Chorus: F# C# D#m There’s wheels running down the interstate B F# C# D#m B Lord, I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you F# C# D#m There’s time ticking on the interstate B F# C# D#m B And Lord, I hate that I ain’t close to you And all my friends have moved away Some got jobs and some got saved They talk to me like I'm still that kid The fightin', fiendin', Okie son The restless, reckless, hopeful one Who once was proud of everything he did Do you remember twenty-five Long legs and lovin' time? Seems like ten lifetimes ago I'm cuttin' ties with things that bind my heart to this world I love you and I'm willin', but I really have to go Chorus: There's wheels runnin' down the interstate But, Lord, I'll wait another day, 'cause I ain't close to you There's time tickin' on the interstate I'm fightin' fate And, Lord, I hate that I ain't close to you I'm cuttin' ties with things that bind my heart to this world I love you and I'm willing, but I cannot keep you, girl Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night The thing about high hopes is you can't hold on too tight | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsB C# D#m F# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
