Intro: Em Am B7 Am (2x)
Em Am
I was on a road to the south of nowhere
B7 Em
She turned to me and looked into my eyes
Em Am
I was on the path that lead to somewhere
B7 Em
The path between me my eyes and her mind
Em
I got to go, I got to go, she said
Am
I got to go, I got to go, she said
B7 Em
On the path that was on her mind
Em Am
I said: Wait, wait a minute, don't leave like that
B7 Em
You can't just do whatever pops in your head one at a time
Em Am
Some people have their own ideas about what they need to do
B7 Em
And she was one of those people, I'm trying to tell you
Interlude: Em Am B7 Em (3x)
Em Am
Couldn't help but think that her sister was not of the same mind
B7 Em
She had a different point of view and looked at life in a different way
Em Am
And she was gone living somewhere else, somewhere far away
B7 Em
So what I'm left with is what I've got to deal with
Em Am
But that's okay, I'm alright with that, I've heard that counts before the dent
B7 Em
Write to me and I did the best that I could
Em Am
I can't help but wonder and dream by myself, sit alone with all those books on my shelf
B7 Em
And think about the people that lived before me and all that they could do that I can't
Interlude: Em Am B7 Em (2x)
Em Am
As we drove along I couldn't help but try to stifle my tongue
B7 Em
And try to say the words what will, what will become of me?
Em Am
The door opened on my side of the car and I was pushed to the ground
B7 Em
The smile on her face, she said: Let it be
Em Am
The ice was cold on my face and there was no shoes on my feet
B7 Em
Exhaust in my mouth for days
Em Am
Me and God alone staring at each other hopes again
B7 Em
Oh Lord, what will become of me?
