Chords for American Aquarium - Road To Nowhere • Mokum Sessions #116

[G] Hey guys, my name is BJ Barm and this is Whit Wright and we're with the band
American Aquarium out of Raleigh, North Carolina.
We're here in Amsterdam with
the Mochum Sessions and this is our song Road to Nowhere.
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _
Her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off of nowhere.
_ In the shadows of her second [F] father's shoulder she [C] just stood there _ _ _ [F] crying, _
_ _ [Am] _ [C] crying. _ _
[Am] Little wicked lies [C] rolled off her tongue like war-bound soldiers marching. _
_ [Am] She ran from [C] the truth like wounded [F] men run from [C] the darkness.
_ When they're [F] dying, _ _ [Am] she's [C] dying. _ _
[F] And I told her I loved her, [C] she told me [Am] she's leaving. _
_ [F] Just like every other person in my [C] life I [Am] believed in.
As [F] she slammed the door and walked away, turned on [C] my radio. _ _
[F] Oh no.
And I played her a [Am] dancing [G] song to guide her [C] home.
I _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] had more [C] faith in her than her mother had in Jesus.
But [Am] like Judas she [C] rebuked my name for jewels and silver pieces. _
When [F] it rained, _ _ [C] [Am] when [G]
[C] it rained.
_ _ [Am] And in my darkest [C] hour, her eyes [F] filled with [C] desperation.
_ _ [Am] Her words were sharp and her [C] sword was swift.
[F] Lord, [C] I've been forsaken by my [G] one true [F] love.
_ [Am] My [G] one true [C] love.
_ _ [F] And I told her I loved her, [C] she told me [Am] she's leaving.
_ _ [F] Just like every other person in my [C] life I [Am] believed in. _
[F] As she slammed the door and walked away, turned on my [C] radio.
_ _ [F] Oh no.
And I played her a [Am] dancing [G] song to guide her [C] home.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] As I [C] lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared, _ [Am] I wonder where [C] you are and who [F] you're with.
Do you think [C] that he cares _ about [F] you?
_ _ [C] About you? _
[Am] Now I am [C] not a godly man, my [F] roads twisted [C] and sinful.
_ _ But to have you back I'd bow my head and [F] sing a [C] Southern Baptist hymnal.
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G]
Hallelujah.
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Am] _ [G]
Hallelujah.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[G] Hallelujah.
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _
[G] Hallelujah.
_ _ [C] Hallelujah. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [B] Ain't it funny how it all [E] works out.
[B] Ain't it funny how it [E] all works out.
[B] Ain't it funny how every night and in the [F#] unfortunate kind.
