[Verse 1]
C/G
Lookin' out my rearview mirror,
The miles behind don't disappear ,
Fmaj7/C
Like they used to,
C/G
When I was with you.
However hard I hit the gas,
The engine don't run half as fast,
Fmaj7/C
As it once did,
C/G
When we were just kids.
[Pre-chorus]

Am Fmaj7/C
But this life keeps rollin' on.
C/G
On and on.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7/C
Yeah it's good to be alone,
C/G
No one to call you on the phone,
Gadd2
After a month out on the road, yeah.
C/G
No one to tell you welcome home, now
C7 Fmaj7/C
No one to scratch you down your back
C/G
No one to you cut you any slack, no
Gadd2
You got to scratch it on your on, yeah
C/G
Yeah it's good to be alone
[Verse 2]

The mountain tops don't stand so high,
The open road ain't quite as wide,

C/G
When we had the same dream
The evening stars don't shine so bright,
When we don't make love through the night,
Fmaj7/C
Like we once did,
C/G
Yeah, those lights are faded.
[Pre-Chorus]
Gadd2
All the good ol' days are gone,
Am Fmaj7/C
But this life keeps rollin' on.
C/G
On and on.
