Take me back
                 A
To the end of this line
      E
For rations I
 A                 E
Deserve at this time

              E
To fill my lungs
                      A
With breath that ain't mine
          E            A
To say I am something I am not
  E              C#m Bb E  (2x)
That ain't kind

   E
A secret
                  A
Is better left kept
                       E
At least, that's what you believe
       A              E
And mindlessly accept

               E
Steal from the girl
              A
When she's gone to bed
              E              A
And when you look back you'll find
         E
Nothing left

 G#m         A
I took the high road
   G#m             A/E
And you took the low one
      G#m       A             Am
And I'm never goin' that way again
      E A
Again

        E
Mother
        A
What have I done
              E
To deserve this life
                      A/E
And the chances I've won?

G#msus/E Am/E E (x2)

 E6/B
I guess
 A6          Am7
I should leave before they close the door
  E6/B    A6
Before me, a window
          Am7                             E6/B
Through which I have explored the world already
  A6
I'm ready
    Am7
'Least, that's what I'll say
           E
I'm not afraid
            A7 - F#m
But I'm so afraid
         E         A
I'm so afraid

                      E
It's the luck of the draw
                    A
How you play your own hand
                       E                     A
At least that's what my dad has said since first
              E
I tried to stand
 G#m         A
I took the high road
    G#m           A
And you took the low one
     G#m        A          Am
And I'm never goin' that way again
      E A (x2)
Again
