Around The Bend

[C] [G] [F] [G]
She said [C]how did you become so hard to [G]handle?
[Am]Holding on to something you can’t s[F]ee.
As you [C]spray paint your love songs like a [G]vandal.
I said, I [Am]guess I let my [Am/G]lovers get the [D/F#]best of me.

See it’s one m[F]ore night,
Another [C]drink to drown this stage-fright.
I’ll play [G]one more song and [G#m]I’ll feel so much [Am]better.
And I’ll say[Dm] thanks for [C]coming, yeah, it’s[G] best that I get running.
If she [F]wants to come along, I might just let [G]her.
You see there’s [C]always [C/B]another dream[Am] around the bend. [G]
If I c[F]an’t play for keeps, I’l[Em]l have to [G]play pretend.
Carry [C]on for that [C/B]next dream just [Am]around the bend,  [G]
[Dm]listening for a love [C]song I can [C/B]call my friend.
As this [F]old car careens,

I’m hea[G]ding for those sweet dreams around the be[C]nd         [G]
She said [C]it’s time you started thinking ‘bout [G]forever,
[Am]Make an honest woman of that [F]girl.
I said it ain[C]’t like she said boy it’s now or [G]never,
Who am [Am]I to bring a [G]child into this[D/F#] world?
To watch me [F]play another show,
with twenty-[C]five more towns to go,
while the e[G]ncore keeps him [G#m]up on past his [Am]bedtime.
As my lady [Dm]goes crazy just t[C]o keep from getting[G] lazy
While she [F]does her best to hold onto this [G]heart of mine...
You see there’s a[C]lways anoth[C/B]er dream around the[Am] bend.         [G]
If I c[F]an’t play for [Em]keeps, I’ll have to [G]play pretend.
Carry [C]on for that [C/B]next dream just [Am]around the bend,   [G]
[Dm]listening for a [C]love song I can [C/B]call my friend.

As this old c[F]ar careens,

I’m hea[G]ding for those sweet dreams around the b[Em]end             [F]
[D/F#]Yeah, to the bitt[G#m]er end.    [Am]Oh [G]   [D/F#]
You see it’s [F]one more night
Another [C]shot might make things all right.
I’ll play [G]one more song and [G#m]I’ll be feeling [Am]fine.
And I’ll [Dm]head for the [C]back door,
knowing I could ha[C/B]ve given so much more,
And s[F]omeone whispers hey, you’ll get em [G]next time.
[G]There’s always next time.
Cause there’s[C] always ano[C/B]ther dream a[Am]round the bend.   [G]
I'll [F]never play for [Em]keeps, I'll only [G]play pretend
Carry [C]on for that [C/B]next dream just [Am]around the bend,[G]
[Dm]listening for a [C]love song that might[C/B] take me to my end

Yeah there’s [C]always anot[C/B]her dream ar[Am]ound the bend     [G]
If I [F]can’t play for [Em]keeps, I guess I’ll play [G]pretend.
Carry [C]on for that [C/B]next dream just [Am]around the bend,[G]
[Dm]listening for a [C]love song that might [C/B]take me to the end
As this [F]old car careens,
I’m hea[G]ding for those sweet dreams
On up around the ben[C]d      [G]            [F]                  [G]
[G]On up around the bend           [C]
