This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse:

D Dsus4 Dsus2 D

It's all the same,

Everyday it seems we're wasting away

I'd drive all night

F D Dsus4

Just to get back home

On a steel horse I ride

Cadd9 G

Sometimes it's not for days

Cadd9 G F D Dsus4

And people I meet always go their separate ways

By the bottle that you drink
