              Intro: C#  E  B  F# 
 
            C#    E      B      F# 
I'm sitting at the wheel  
       C#    E         B     F# 
I got a green light  
     C#      E          B           F# 
Not afraid of nothin' cuz heart and soul  
    C#        E        B        F# 
I'm built for life  
 
     C#     E           B        F# 
So let the engine roar  
         C#     E         B         F# 
Push the pedal down  
      C#   E            B        F# 
I want the white lines on the highway  
           C#     E    B      F# 
To lead me out of town  
 
      A 
I'm rolling on and on and on  
F# 
Who knows where I?m goin'?  
 
C#   E     B     F#                      
Life is an open road                         
C#   E      B              F#                 
It's the best story never told               
        C#      E                B       F#      
It's an endless sky, it's the deepest sea    
C#   E     B     F#         C#   E   B   F#   
Life is an open road to me                   
C#   E     B     F#         C#   E   B   F#  
Life is an open road to me                 
 
         C#   E   B   F# 
I got headlights 
            C#   E   B   F# 
To guide me thru the night  
          C#     E            B     F# 
I got the window down and the radio playing 
            C#   E   B   F# 
It makes me feel alive 
 
        A 
I'm rolling on and on and on  
F# 
Who knows where I?m goin'?
