Intro C F Am G
C
I've been living on the road
F
Made a buck of my soul
Am G
I've been singing stories to the crowd
F
It's been a while since I've been home
C
I think about you every night
F
Wonder what it would've been like
Am G
If I stuck around and settled down
F
Maybe in another life
Am F C
So, if I fly too far
Am F C
Will I still have a place inside your heart?
Am F C
And, when you see what I've become
Am F C
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was?
C
You keep me steady on the ground
F
When my head's lost in the clouds
Am G
That spotlight, though it shines bright
F
Could never drown you out
C
I know it's hard when I'm away
F
I'll just hope you don't lose faith
Am G
'Cause I told the truth when I said to you
F
That I'll be back someday
Am F C
So, if I fly too far
Am F C
Will I still have a place inside your heart?
Am F C
And, when you see what I've become
Am F C
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was?
Am F C
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was?
