[Verse 1]
G A Bm
I got a message from a friend
G A D Bm
Said, "You've been quiet since the day you let her in
G A Bm
And we'd all love to know just where you went
G A Bm
'Cause, honey, you don't look the same
G A D Bm
I barely recognize you with that look on your face"
G A Bm
My God, those words are burned into my brain
[Pre-Chorus]
A D G
You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
A D G
Oh, I swore to God you'd be important
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
G
There's blisters on my feet
D
I ran right through my shoes
A
These roads are changing me
Bm
But they all lead back to you
G
'Cause you're still in my skin
D
I've done all I can do
A
But I chose to let you in
G
Now the roads lead back to you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G A Bm
So when they ask me where I've been
G A D Bm
I'll plug the drain and calmly say, "I never left"
G A Bm
And quietly wish we had never met
G A Bm
'Cause that slow pain don't like to wait
G A D Bm
No, it comes quick and then it never fades away
G A Bm
And I lost part of me that day
[Pre-Chorus]

You showed me I should stop and I ignored it

But they all lead back to you
G
'Cause you're still in my skin
