[Verse 1]
C
When I look at you, boy
Am F
I can see the road that lies ahead

I can see the love, and the sorrow
[Verse 2]
C
Bright fields of joy
Am F
Dark nights awake in a stormy bed

I want to go with you, but I can't follow

So keep to the old roads
F
Keep to the old roads
And you'll find your way
[Instrumental]

Your first kiss, your first crush

The first time you know you're not enough
C G F
The first time there's no one there to hold you
[Verse 4]

The first time you pack it all up

And drive alone across america

Please remember the words that I told you

Keep to the old roads
F
Keep to the old roads
C
And you'll find your way
Am F
You'll find your way
[Chorus]

If love is what you're looking for

The old roads lead to an open door

And you'll find your way
Am F
You'll find your way

Back home
[Bridge]
C F C
And I know you'll be scared when you take up that cross
F C F
And I know it'll hurt, 'cause I know what it costs

But you're gonna grow up and you're gonna get lost
C Am F
Just go back, go back

Go back, go back to the ancient paths

Lash your heart to the ancient mast
C G
And hold on, boy, whatever you do
F
To the hope that's taken hold of you
[Chorus]

And you'll find your way
Am F
You'll find your way

If love is what you're looking for
G F
The old roads lead to an open door

And you'll find your way
Am F
You'll find your way
C
Back home
