[G]
[D]
[D] [C]
I [Em] need space, that's where I go.
A place [G] to escape that nobody knows.
Where I [D] feel free to let things go.
And face [C] this evil that burdens my soul.
I bring [Em] my hatred, I pack my pain.
All [G] the emotions I cannot explain.
That's where I [D] found God and filled that hole.
It's he, [C]
myself, and I on that lonely dirt road.
I needed somewhere to take my [G]
mistakes.
I didn't want my family to see me [D] cry.
They'll never know I'm carrying all of this [C]
weight.
Dealing with the pressure of trying to [Em] provide.
No sign of struggle can show on my [G]
face.
They ask if I'm OK, I just flash them a [D] smile.
Fire up that engine to take me [C] away.
I'm speeding through emotions with every [Em]
mile.
On that road is where I find my peace.
[G] I remember daddy told me about some times like [D] these.
On that road is [D] where my mind's at ease.
[C] I keep driving life away, rejecting change.
So when I need [Em]
space, that's where I go.
A place to [G]
escape that nobody knows.
Where I feel [D]
free to let things go.
And face [C] this evil that burdens my soul.
I bring my [Em]
hatred, I pack my pain.
All the [G]
emotions I cannot explain.
That's where I [D] found God and filled that hole.
It's he, [C] myself, and I [C] on that lonely [Em] dirt road.
I tried my best to plant the seeds,
and [G] then I watered everything that was in my life.
[D]
But as a man, the only flowers that you get are [C] when you're
six feet under on the day you do.
[Em]
I think I feel the pain my father felt.
It's finally [G] sinking in.
Looking back, all I see is his [D] eyes.
He said that house is not a home unless you build it [C] on respect
with some kids and a loving home.
[Em]
If these walls could talk, I'd bet they'd say it's [G] all my fault.
That I don't try hard.
That I [D] ain't man enough.
That I ain't standing up.
That I just [C]
burn everything that my hands touch.
Oh, if these walls could talk, I'd bet they'd say I'm to [G] blame.
That I'm the one who put myself inside of all of these [D] chains.
That my addictive personality's what ran them [C] away.
And that I hurt myself by staying quiet and not [Em] explaining.
I'm broken in places I can't even [G] see.
I know there's gotta be a heaven,
cause the hell that's in [D] me is taking a dangerous toll.
That I'm [C]
paying with all of my [C] soul.
When I need [Em]
space, this is where I go.
A place to [G] escape that nobody knows.
Where I feel [D] free to let things go.
And face this [C]
evil that burdens my soul.
I bring [Em] my hatred, I pack my pain.
All the [G]

It's where I found [D] God and filled that hole.
It's he, [C] myself and I on [C] that lonely [Em] dirt road.
