And in the morning when you fill my eyes
A            F#m            Bm
I knew that day I couldn't do,

And so my mind begins to memorize
A                 F#m            Bm
'Cause time will never seem the same,
  G       A             D
Ahh, no more, never again.

[Chorus]
G            A              D     F#m   Bm   Bm/A
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,
G            A                 F# Bsus4
My legs are weak my heels are low.
G            A              D     F#m   Bm   Bm/A
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll.

Can't make no headway on this road.
[Instrumental]
(play intro riff four times)
D
[Verse]
D                       Cadd9    Em   Emadd9  Em
There's an empty space inside me now,
A            F#m              Bm
A wasteland deep beneath the snow,
G    A                D
So cold, nothing'll grow.
[Instrumental]
(pre-chorus riff)
D
[Chorus]
G            A              D     F#m   Bm   Bm/A
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't go,
G            A                 F# Bsus4
My legs are weak my heels are low.
G            A              D     F#m   Bm   Bm/A
I'm just a coaster but my wheels won't roll.
G                              E          A        D                G
Can't make no headway on this road. What road? oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh
