Written by Tommy Rogers and Dean Miller
performed by Terri Clark
from her album FEARLESS

It's always a treat to transcribe a new Terri Clark song because,
besides being Canadian, she is as easy on the eyes as she is on the ears
(but hard on the heart)! ;) I would recommend that at least one guitar
have a dropped D tuning for a few of the riffs that are performed
between the verses. As usual, I've included the guitar solo in tab for all
of you 'over-achievers!'. Have fun! :)

A
Throwing pictures out the window
G D
Scattered by the way the wind blows
A G (riff #1)
Bye, bye baby, that's the last I'll see of you
A
Shoebox full of old love letters
G D
I'll tear each one till I'll feel better
G A (riff #2)
And I won't look back, cause I don't like the view
CHORUS
D A D
What my heart needs now is rest
G
So I'm packin' up and I'm headed west
D A G (riff #2)
My minds made up, I'll put it to the test
D A D
Pushing myself and this old machine
G
Burning fumes and what's left of my dreams
D A Bm (riff #3)
Let 'em go, cause I don't need no strings
A G A D
Just give me a road and a little gasoline
REPEAT INTRO
A
We talked in circles 'til the words ran out
G D (riff #4)
and it all came down to an angry shout
A G (riff #5)
Before I knew it, I was in third gear and gone
A
Well this had been coming for a long, long time
G D (riff #4)
If I said I'm sorry, well I'd be lying
G A (riff #6)
If you think I'll never make it, well you'd be wrong
