[Intro]
A C#m x4
[Verse]
A C#m
Everything here is not sewn up tight,
A C#m
I've good reason for concern
A C#m
All my options are becoming fences
F#m D E
none of which include a gate.
F#m D E
What if I need to escape?
A C#m
But I'm still waitin' on the porch
A C#m
I gotta keen sense of the edge
A C#m
I might work here till I've risked it all
F#m D E
with no strength to turn round
F#m D E
All my efforts in the air
[Chorus]
D E A
I'm just trying keep my head above the ground
D E A
Make a simple good living somehow
D E A
All four wheels on the road
D E A
[Verse 2]
A C#m
All the local roads are freezing over
A C#m
I'm sure it's unsafe to drive
A C#m
I been weering at the wheels so long
F#m D E
Think of all that I’ve passed up
F#m D E
Wonder how I've come this far
[Chorus]
D E A
I'm just trying keep my head above the ground
D E A
Make a simple good living somehow
D E A
All four wheels on the road
[Verse 3]
A C#m
I've traded 7 years for this
A C#m
And I'm buried in repair
A C#m
The burned out head-light, these four brakes
F#m D E
And I have no idea what is next
F#m D E
Now I'm pushing home
[Chorus]
D E A
I'm just trying keep my head above the ground
D E A
Make a simple good living somehow
D E A
All four wheels on the road
[Verse 4]
Bm D
This is not in favor of the odds
Bm G D
My discretions out of practice
Bm D
I may wake up broken down
E
Way out where there’s no one around
