Well the (Gx4)road rolls out like a welcome mat
To a (Cx4)better place than the one we're at
And (Dx4)I ain't got no kinda plan
But I've (Cx4)had all of this town I can stand
And (Gx4)I got friends out on the coast
We can (Cx4)jump in the water and see what floats
(Dx4)We've been saving for a rainy day
Let's (Cx4)beat the storm and be on our way
