The High Road

              Em
I woke with a hunger
                 G
For what I can’t say
                    C
I slept through the night
                D7
But all was not right
                   G
When I met the new day


[Verse 2]
                   Em
One drink from the river
                G
And you will forget
                    C
That if you want to live
                 D7
You’ve got to forgive
                  G
But I’m not there yet


[Chorus 1]
                 C
I heard that the high road
                     G
Is the road I should take
               C
To be like the branches
                    D7
That bend but don’t break
                 C
I wanna take the high road
                  G
But I’ve lost the map

                   Am       D7
And my life on the low road
                G
Always calls me back


[Verse 3]
                    Em
I’m not playing the victim
                  G
Well so what if I am
                    C
If he fell down the well
                 D7
Would I wish him well
               G
Would I give a damn


[Verse 4]
               Em
I’ve dug in my heels
                  G
I’ve stiffened my back
                 C
What would Jesus do
                D7
And other sages too
             G
Probably not that


[Chorus 2]
                   C
Been told that the high road
                 G
Is a much better trip
                C
If you heed the directions
               D7
And follow the script
                    C
Now I’m here at the crossroads
                        G
Don’t know which way to go
                   Am        D7
My heart wants the high road
                      G
But my head wants the low


[Instrumantal]
Em G C D7
C G Am D7


[Chorus 3]
                C
I know it’s the high road
                 G
That will set me free
                      C
It’s the road that’ll get me
                D7
Where I want to be
                   C
So if you take the high road
                 G
I say don’t ever leave
                         Am       D7
You don’t wanna take the low road
             G
Take it from me
