[Verse]
C
Lately the ties that bind
F           G               C    F G
Feel like a noose around my neck
C
Chokin' the life from me
    F          G                  C      F G
And leavin' my dreams gaspin' for breath
F
I've lost sight and so have you
       G
Of the man you were attracted to
C               G               F
We lost me some where along the line
    Dm
And I can't live like this no more
G
Knowing just outside that door
F                   G                  C
There's a road that leaves this all be hind

          F                            G
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
    C                       C/B           F
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
   Dm                             F
So don't insist on standin' in my way
        G            C
I can't find me if I stay

C                            F
If you really love me if you care at all
       G              C   F G
You'll gladly step as ide
     C                                    F
I've given you the best of me and now the rest of me
   G            C    F G
Is gonna take a ride
          F                             G
There's a gravel road that turns into a two - lane blacktop highway
     C                 G                   F
That stretches out for miles and miles and miles
        Dm                               G
And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin' out a white line
     F             G               C
To a man I haven't been in quite a while

          F                            G
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
            C               C/B           F
And there's nothin' in this world you can say

[Outro]
   Dm                             F
So don't insist on standin' in my way
        G            C    F
I can't find me if I stay
        G            C    F
I can't find me if I stay
        G            C    F
I can't find me if I stay
        G            N.C.
I can't find me if I stay
