[Intro]
[D - Bm - G - A] [2X]
[Verse 1]
[D] [Bm]
Etched in my mind is the vice I have tried,
[G] [A]
Everything's blurry, with nowhere to hide.
[D] [Bm]
Stain on my soul that I cannot evade,
[G] [A]
As time passes by, it refuses to fade.
[Pre-Chorus]
[G] [A]
I want to get off, but the wheels keep on turning,
[G] [A]
I want to stop, but the craving keeps burning.
[G] [A]
Where will this lead on a road rough and swell?
[G] [A]
I don't want this ride on a Road Trip to Hell!
[Chorus]
[D] [Bm]
Driver, please stop, right there on the side,
[G] [A]
Right there on the side, but my tongue is tongue-tied.
[D] [Bm]
Why can't I say that I'm ready to leave?
[G] [A]
I'll step off this ride once my high gets relief.
[Interlude]
[D - Bm - G - A] [2X]
[Verse 2]
[D] [Bm]
Ever since youth, I've been trying to see,
[G] [A]
Why all of this is now happening to me.
[D] [Bm]
I cannot tell if it's just a bad dream,
[G] [A]
Wake me up now, who will hear my loud scream?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
[G] [A]
I want to get off, but the wheels keep on turning,
[G] [A]
I want to stop, but the craving keeps burning.
[G] [A]
Where will this lead on a road rough and swell?
[G] [A]
I don't want this ride on a Road Trip to Hell!
[Chorus 2]
[D] [Bm]
Driver, please stop, right there on the side,
[G] [A]
Right there on the side, but my tongue is tongue-tied.
[D] [Bm]
Why can't I say that I'm ready to leave?
[G] [A]
I'll step off this ride once my high gets relief.
[Adlib / Guitar Solo]
[D - Bm - G - A] [4X]
[Verse 3]
[D] [Bm]
Raised on the streets, out late in the night,
[G] [A]
No honest work, doing nothing that's right.
[D] [Bm]
We're packed like sardines, yet the ride will not cease,
[G] [A]
I’m giving up, friend, I just paid for my peace.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
[G] [A]
I want to get off, but the wheels keep on turning,
[G] [A]
I want to stop, but the craving keeps burning.
[G] [A]
Where will this lead on a road rough and swell?
[G] [A]
I don't want this ride on a Road Trip to Hell!
[Repeat Chorus] [3X]
