Em
I can't take this kinda pressure
G                 -      F#m       - 
I must confess one more dusty road
      Em          -      Dsus2
Would be just a road too long

G - - Em
Worthless...

Em
I just can't, I just can't
I just can't seem to get started!
G            -          F#m    -
Don't have the heart to live in the fast lane
Em         -            Dsus2
All that has passed and gone

G - - A
Worthless!
                                      C - - B
There ain't nothing you can do about it

Pardon me while I panic!

I come from KC Missouri
    G     -                F#m   -
And I got my kicks down on Route 66
      Em    -                  Dsus2
Every truck stop from Butte to MO

Motown to Old Alabama

Em
I once ran the Indy 500
  G           -    F#m    -
I must confess I'm impressed how I did
      Em       -              Dsus2
And I wonder how close that I came
Em
Now I get a sinking sensation
G          -         F#m        -             Em     -
I was the top of the line, out of site out of mind
                        Dsus2
So much for fortune and fame

G - - A

Gm
Once took a Texan to a wedding
Once took a Texan to a wedding
Bb             -        Am    - 
He kept forgetting, his loneliness letting
    Gm        -                  F
His thoughts turn to home and we turned

Gm
I took a man to a graveyard
Bb      -               Am       -
I beg your pardon, it's quite hard enough
     Gm      -                    F
Just living with the stuff I have learned

Am - - Bb

Once drove a surfer to sunset
G     -                F#m    -
There were bikinis and buns filled with weenies
Em      -                 Dsus2
Believe me, just couldn't forget

I took the kids on the skids with a Hopi

Who was happy to lie there and say

"You're worthless"
