Love Is A Dead End Road

C
Thought it was finding someone that was just like me
G
Wanted college football up on the big screen
Am
Every Saturday all through fall
F                      C
Aut no, love is a dead end road

C
Thought it meant she'd pick a guitar
G
Shoot pool with the boys in a smokey old bar room
Am
And throw em' back without a second thought
F
But love is a dead end road


[Chorus]
F
On the outskirts of our hometowns
C
Where the black top turns into gravel drive sounds
Am
Pines line the river all the way to our house
G
Where family and friends, they all gather round
F
To see little bare feet take their very first steps
C
Talk about it over and over again
Am                                              G
Where you thank God it didn't turn out how you thought
                             F
Where you got her hand to hold
G                    C
Love is a dead end road

[Verse]
C
Thought I had it all planned out
G
Who she'd be, where we'd be now
Am
One right wrong turn as it turns out
F
This old boy found
F
That love is a dead end road

[Chorus]
F
On the outskirts of our hometowns
C
Where the black top turns into gravel drive sounds
Am
Pines line the river all the way to our house
G
Where family and friends, they all gather round
F
To see her highschool love take my little girl's hand
C
White dress, wedding bells and daddy's last dance
Am                                           G
Where you thank God it didn't turn out how you thought
G                         F
Where you got her hand to hold
G                   F
Love is a dead end road


[Chorus]
G
Love is a dead end road
F
On the outskirts of our hometowns
C
Where the black top turns into gravel drive sounds
Am
Pines line the river all the way to our house
G
Where family and friends, they all gather round
F
To tell daddy goodbye just one more time
C
Tears shed for one hell of a life
Am                                        G
Where you thank God it didn't turn out how you thought
G      Am                                      G
Oh, you thank God it didn't turn out how you thought
G                        F  G
Where you got her hand to hold
G               C  G
Love is a dead end road
                    Am
Love is a dead end road
