Am                       C             D                         Am
 I graduated school and set out my way  to the world to chase a dream
Am                       C                     D                           Am
 A simple twist of fate  turned a twisted path  of alcohol and methamphetamines
Am                             C                     D                                  Am
 It's the same old story I've heard a thousand times  of lost souls and wicked deeds of men
Am                     C                  D                                 Am
 But on moonlit night down on bended knee, I swore I'd never go that path again


[Chorus]
G           F                Am
 I spent a life time in that world
G                F             Am
 I've seen some men go down real hard
G                  F             Am C
 I've heard them knockin' on my door
        G                          Am
I just can't go down that road no more
        G     F                    Am
I just can't go down that road no more


[Verse 2]
Am                           C                  D                                    Am
 I did the best I could to try to hide my shame,  the light of day it rarely fell on me
Am                          C                  D                                    Am
 I'd stay up nights on end howlin' at the moon,  while hounds of hell they ran with me
Am                              C                 D                             Am
 I don't know what it was that woke me from dream,  it gave me back my life to save
Am                       C                                   D                          Am
 All my friends that continued down that road, well they're crazy or in a cell or in a grave


[Chorus]
G           F                Am
 I spent a life time in that world
G                F             Am
 I've seen some men go down real hard
G                  F             Am C
 I've heard them knockin' on my door
        G                          Am
I just can't go down that road no more
        G     F                    Am
I just can't go down that road no more


[Bridge]
F                          Am
 'Cause there's a darkness,  darker than black
F                  E
 So far gone, you can't make it back


[Chorus]
G           F                Am
 I spent a life time in that world
G                F             Am
 I've seen some men go down real hard
G                  F             Am C
 I've heard them knockin' on my door
        G                          Am
I just can't go down that road no more
        G     F                    Am
I just can't go down that road no more
