[E] He was calling to me [B] at the time [E] And I knew even then [A] I could die for the thoughts
[E] That I kept [B] in the back of [E] my mind But I dared not to speak [A] how I felt for my
dad [E] Cause there were no words to [B]
define
[E] This ball of confusion, [A] of fears and truth [E] That I kept [B] in the back of [E] my mind

So I took to the highway [A] and I kept to myself [E] Just a looking and a hoping [B] to find
[E] Some solution, some answers, [A] some way to exist With [E] this stuff [B] in the back of [E] my mind
So I took me a job [A] and I took me a while [E] And I took to a bottle [B] of wine
And [E] it did not take long [A] till all I had left Was [E] this stuff [B] in the back of [E] my mind
God, [A]

[E] Was just a spark [B] in the back of [E] my mind And the cold wind that blew [A] through the hole
in my heart [E] Made a fire for [G#m] the very [B] first time
[E] From some branches of trust [A] and an inlet of faith
