The roads I took curved constantly
D
An open path or dead-end streets
G D/F# C
Took me a while to find out which direction I should face
G B Em
Left wrong turns and - oh my leaves turned early –
C G D
By which I mean to illustrate my state
G D/F# C D G
And now it’s over there’s naught ahead
D C D/F#
But I can’t let go ohoh
G D/F# C D G
had it all planned out, the way, the day, I set the time
D C
Well I came close to writing down
D/F# G
My last goodbye
G C
Bad luck shaped me as a man
D
Bad breaks tore me down again
G D/F# C
Took different shapes before I took the shape that I now am
G B Em
The pressure’s tense and – oh the tension’s pressing –
C G D
Society’s roll, took it’s toll again
G D/F# C D G
And now it’s over there’s naught ahead
D C D/F#
But I can’t let go ohoh

My last goodbye
