Em
[Verse 1]
Em G
My heart and my soul are so very full
D Em
Of the Lyrics that long to find the paper
Em G
And the tunes stuck in my head seem as heavy as lead
D Em
Weigh me down like a big rig hauling timber
[Chorus]
C G
But my mind won't open the gate
D G
Let out my heart to roam and explore every place
C G
And every path that would lead me to my happy places
C D G
But my mind won't open the gate
[Verse 2]
Em G
She's standing in the rain as I surely go insane
D Em
Loving her without her even knowing
Em G
Begging my mind please and my heart is on its knees
D Em
Praying for a life I'm just supposing
[Chorus]
C G
But my mind won't open the gate
D G
Let out my heart to roam and explore every place
C G
And every path that would lead me to my happy places
C D G
But my mind won't open the gate
[Bridge]
C G D Em
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
C G D
Ooh Ooh Ooh
[Verse 3]
Em G
Staring at the cross fully knowing that I'm lost
D Em
With the faith the only thing needed to save me
Em G
But the doubt and hate and pain seem to fall just like the rain
D Em
Pouring water on the promise that he gave me
[Chorus]
C G
But my mind won't open the gate
D G
Let out my heart to roam and explore every place
C G
And every path that would lead me to my happy places
C D G
But my mind won't open the gate
[Outro]
C D Em
But my mind won't open the gate
C D G
But my mind won't open the gate
