Crossroads chords
Am
I'm standing at the crossroads
F Am
There are many roads to take
Am
But I stand here so silently
F Am
For fear of a mistake
F Am
One path leads to paradise
F Am
One path leads to pain
F Am
One path leads to freedom
G F Am
(I swear) they all look the same
Am
I've traveled many roads
F Am
And not all of them were good
Am
The foolish ones taught more to me
F Am
Than the wise ones ever could
F Am
One path leads to sacrifice
F Am
One path leads to shame
F Am
One path leads to freedom
G F Am
(I swear) they all look the same
F Am
There are roads I never traveled
F Am
There were turns I did not take
F Am
There were mysteries that I left unraveled
G F Am
But leaving you was my only mistake
Am
So I'm standing at the crossroads
F Am
Imprisoned by this doubt
Am
As if by doing nothing
F Am
I might find my way out
F Am
One path leads to paradise
F Am
One path leads to pain
F Am
One path leads to freedom
G F Am
But they all look the same
F Am
There were roads I never traveled
F Am
There were turns I did not take
F Am
There were mysteries that I left unraveled
G F Am
But leaving you was my only mistake
F Am
There were roads I never traveled
F Am
There were turns I did not take
F Am
There were mysteries that I left unraveled
G F Am
But leaving you was my only mistake
G F Am
But leaving you was my only mistake
