Intro: C Am G F C x2
C
I've run to ground
Am G F C
I've run from everyone that I have ever known
C
I'm aching cold
Am G F C
I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me
Am G
And it's broke before you know it, before you knew what it was for
F C
All you know is you can't fix it, and you wish you'd listened more
Am G
To your instincts, to your family, to the wisdom you'd ignored
F C G
Are you finally gonna ask us for help?
C
I've crashed to earth
Am G F C
But I'd fallen for so long that it was just relief
C
I saw your face
Am G F C
In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes
Am G
And it's broke before you know it, before you knew what it was for
F C
All you know is you can't fix it, and you wish you'd listened more
Am G
To your instincts, to your family, to the wisdom you'd ignored
F C G
When you finally gonna ask us for help?
Am G
I can see you at the front gate, as you wait on my return
F C
The years have blurred to eons, but the tears have never dried
Am G
But I'm not coming to you like this, so battered down and sad
F C
I will take the road forgotten again.
