Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse]
Em F
Never once an ocean
C Em F
Could hold me on its shore
Em F
Standing calm with all its motion
C Em F
With all the movement of its flow
Em F
Cause I know way back in the distance
C Em F
All the safer sorrows burned
Em F
The ones with no intent to drown you
C Em F
The ones where nothing's to be learned
[Chorus]
Em F
So now I'm headin' down a back road
C Em F
The one that no one really takes
Em F
'cept for me now to be nowhere
C F C
When that early morning breaks
[Verse]
C
Em F
Now I'm dancin' with the mad girls
C Em F
The ones who sin out by the town
Em F
Who were brought up by bell towers
C Em F
And always nurtured by its sound
Em F
I heard them sing out in their language
C Em F
Already when I was still free
Em F
Oh God I thought I heard the angels
C Em F
What kind of fool'd you put in me?
C
[Chorus]
Em F
'Cause now I'm tied by up by a back road, y'know
C Em F
The one that no one really takes
Em F
'cept for me now to be nowhere
C F C
When that early morning breaks
[Instrumental]
C Em F C Em C F C
[Verse]
Em F
They sure won't let me leave this summer
C
No no no
Em F
And they won't let me go this fall
Em F
And with the likelihood of winter
C Em F
They'll take the heat out of us all
Em F
Just to deliver all their daughters
C Em F
To track down sons of serpent roads
Em F
And let me look out over slaughter
C Em F
To have a night out with the boys
C
[Chorus]
Em F
And now I'm takin' off the back road, y'know
C Em F
The one that no one really takes
Em F
'cept for me now to be nowhere
