    D
I thought by now I’d have it figured out
            D/F#                              D
How not to make the easy thing so hard to do
   G
I bet that I’d be further down this road
            D                                     A
If I could read the signs that point me to the truth

I never planned on being nothin' but a cowboy
But somewhere I picked up this old guitar
Girl, all I can say is that I'm sorry
If I get kinda careless with your heart

Chorus:
         G
All the headlights
All the midnights
                                     Bm       A
Chasing all that empty, still ain’t got it right
          G
All the crazy
All the gypsy
                             Bm     A
I guess all I’m sayin’ is forgive me
                          G   A
If I don’t know what I’m doing
A
I’m still learnin’ to be human

So far I've been good at burnin' bridges
Strike a match and ride right out of town
Bless your heart for never tryin' to fix me
Or quit me or slow me down

Chorus:
All the headlights, all the midnights
Chasin' all that empty, still ain't got it right
All the crazy all the gypsy
I guess all I'm sayin' is forgive me
If I don't know what I'm doin'
'Cause I'm still learnin' to be human

All the highways playin' outlaw
Rollin' outta nowhere with the brakes off
All the crazy and the whiskey
Wakin' up and wonderin' what hit me
Whoa, forgive me, I really don't know what I'm doin'
'Cause I'm still learnin' to be human
Mm, still learnin' to be human
