 This old boy lived down the road from me
 A                       E  Esus E
 Used to drive a beat up Dodge
 E         B  E
 He showed up drunk as hell one night
 A            B
 Parked in my garage
 E        B
 I had to ask him
 E
 How'd  you get so lost
 A                     F#
 Man how do you get so low
         A         B                 E              A     
 He said I've been running around in circles for so long
          B                  E
 I didn't know where else to go 
 E            B                E 
 See his wife she left him and took the kids
 A                    E  Esus E
 And he never was the same
 E                 B   E
 I guess they were all that he'd been  living for
 A                         B
 And he shouldered all the blame
 E         B        E
 He always wondered what made her give up
 A                          F#
 And why was he the last to know
 A          B                 E              A 
 She'd been running around in circles for so long
            B                  E
 She didn't know where else to go
 A          B           E
 Guess we all lose our way sometimes
 A   B                    E
 Get stuck  out on that road
 A           B                 E      
 When there's no where left to turn we just stop
 A                        B
 The ones we love pay the toll
 E        B                  E
 This old boy lived down the road from me
 A                        E Esus  E
 Today we laid him in the ground
 E              B                   E
 Drove that old dodge right off the river bridge
 A                    B
 Without even slowing down
 E        B          E
 Read the letter he  left for his old man
 A                    F#
 Said God I loved her so
         A         B                 E              A     
 He said I've been running around in circles for so long
          B                  E
 I didn't know where else to go
