[Intro]
C Em7 D G C Em7 D G
[Verse]
C Em7 D G
There are nights I've owned this town
C G D
Most nights it owns me
C Em7 D G
Play my guitar til it draws blood
C D
It still won't let me be
Em7 D C G
People think you know what you're talking about
Em7 D C
All because you wrote some song
Em7 D C G
I ain't no smarter than the rest of these clowns
Em7 D C G
Just making it up as I go along
[Bridge]
C Em7 D G
[Verse]
C Em7 D G
I had dreams at twenty one
C G D
I traded for a car
C Em7 D G
The car is gone and the dreams are too
C D
But, I've still got your heart
Em7 D C G
You always saw right through the smoke and mirrors
Em7 D C
Nothing fooled you for long
Em7 D
You know the wizard's just a man
C G
Behind the curtain shifting gears
Em7 D C G
Still making it up as I go along
[Chorus]
C Em7
I've worn this mask before
D G
Til I don't know who I am
F Em7
I love the cards life's dealt me
C D
But, I sure don't know how to play out my hand
[Solo Harmony]
C Em7 D G C Em7 D G
[Verse]
C Em7 D G
There are nights I've owned your love
C G D
Most nights it owns me
C Em7 D G
There are nights I've tried to escape it
C D
And it still won't let me be
Em7 D C G
People think you know what true love's about
Em7 D C
All because you wrote some song
Em7 D C G
There's more to love than just writing it down
Em7 D C G
We'll make it all up as we go along
Em7 D C G
Girl we're making it up as we go along
Em7 D C G
Making it up as I go along
