_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ There _ is a long hard road [D] that follows _ [C] far behind me
[G] _ _ _
And it's so cold I'm about [Am] to die
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
Chasing a dream around the [D] world
It's got me [C] feeling _ down
_ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] Though it used to make [C] me high _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ Looking [D] for answers
_ _ [Am] _ _
Searching [Em] for the truth
_ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Bm] In an _ ocean [Am] of lies _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Trying to [G] find a reason
_ [Am] To make this [Em] whole thing right
_ [C] _ _ And [D] make you old before your [G] _ time
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _
When I was younger
_ [D] Thought I'd rule [C] the world
_ [G] _ _
_ It was an oyster [Am] at my feet
[C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ Dancing to my own drum
[D] _ Wishing I [C] could burrow
[G] _ _ _ [Dm] Guess I would have been more [C] _ _ discreet _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ I've [D] lived a lifetime _ [Am] _ acting [Em] out a part
[C] It's _ _ _ [Em] been a long [Am] uphill _ climb _
_ _ [D] _ _ Now [G] all the things that [Am] used to mean so much [Em] to me
_ [C] Have _ _ made [D] me old before [G] my _ time
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Wandering _ aimlessly
[G] _ _ _
Wondering about
_ [Em] Could _ _ [C] it ever be [D] much different now
_ _ _ [C] _ Mind the other back
[G] And I slip into a dream
_ _ [Em] _ Funny, [C] think they never heard what [D] they seem
_ _ _ [Em] Living _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [B] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ like _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ children
[Em] _ [D] Never doing what [C] we are told
[G] I _ will not hesitate to [Am] take a _ chance
[C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
That road behind me [D] now
_ Paved with [C] fools gold _
[G] _ _ It's [Dm] almost time for the victory [C] _ _ dance _ _ _
_ [Am] _ No more [D] feeling guilty
The _
_ [Am] _ things I [Em] never did _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bm] Feeling nothing [Am] for my _ crime _ _
_ [D] _ _ Feeling [G] like a gypsy
_ [Am] _ _ Dreaming [Em] like a kid
_ [C] _ _ Has [D] made me old before [G] my time _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ There is a long hard [D] road
That winds so far _ [C] _ behind _ _ me _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Thank you [N] all _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
