Bend In The Road

      G           Em           C 
Put a bend in the road I'm too 
        G
lost and tired
                 Em    C          
To see where I'm going, what I 
    D
left behind
       Em         Bm  G7         
And I'm moving so slow, don't 
   G           C
know when I'll arrive
         Em          G       
So put a bend in the road, I'm 
          C    D            G
growing tired of straight lines

( Em  C  D   G )

  G               Em    C        
I set off for the shore, that was
           G
 farthest away
                Em    C           
From the ones I adored, in the 
         D
place I was raised
      Em            Bm G7        
And I roam down the road just to 
G           C
watch it go by

         Em         G         
And when nowhere is love, maybe 
  C      D   G
nowhere am I

Am               G        
Everyone needs a touch, or a 
   Am           G
shoulder for crying
         Em        A7    C       
They say love is a crutch, I say 
        D
love is blind
           G            Em        
And that's all that she needed, 
           C        G
that I could not supply
                   Em           C  
With a bend in the road, put it out
D      G
 of my mind

[Solo] G  Em  C  G
       G  Em  C  D  G

Am                   G            
Met a strange little girl, who was
 Am         G
 everything I
     Em              A7  C   
ever dreamed I could love or be 
         D
loved by

         G            Em  C      
So put a bridge, or a hill, or a 
          G
forest of pines
              Em  C        
Or a river of blue I can run 
       D
alongside
         Em              Bm   G7 
And I'll sleep when it's night, 
                   C
I'll follow all the signs
           Em          G       
Just put a bend in the road, I'm 
          C    D            Em    A7
growing tired of straight lines
      C           G               
Put a bend in the road, I'm 
  C   D              G
growing tired of straight lines
