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?
