Verse:
C
As I'm thrown into an empty room or should I say a box
Am
I try to turn around to leave but the door is slammed and locks
G
so I sit here and I think about all the evil things I've done
F G
I lost where I was going cause I forgot where I came from
Chorus:
C
I surrender
Put my weapons down
Am
I can't remember
what I'm doing in this town
G
It's time for me to pack my bags
I will always be alone
F G
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road
C
I'm a drifter
Am G F G
I'm a drifter
Verse:
C
Now every time I look straight into my father's eyes
Am
I see how hurt and broken down he is from all the times
G
He had to watch the son he raised follow in his steps
F G
The only option that he ever had was to hope for the best
Chorus:
C
I surrender
Put my weapons down
Am
I can't remember
what I'm doing in this town
G
It's time for me to pack my bags
I will always be alone
F G
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road
Bridge:
Am
My faith is weak my soul is bound
this lonely road I travel down
C
I scrape my feet this jagged ground
the cuts run deep into me now
F
Mother oh why aren't you here
So young I was, you disappeared
G
I know the truth is ugly did you truly ever love me?
Am C F Em F G
Outro:
C
I surrender
Curse my mothers soul
Am
I still miss her
No matter where I go
G
It's time for me to pack my bags
I will always be alone
F G
The only thing I've ever known is a broken home
