[Intro]
C F G
[Verse]
C
Lately the ties that bind
F G C F G
Feel like a noose around my neck
C
Chokin' the life from me
F G C F G
And leavin' my dreams gaspin' for breath
F
I've lost sight and so have you
G
Of the man you were attracted to
C G F
We lost me some where along the line
Dm
And I can't live like this no more
G
Knowing just outside that door
F G C
There's a road that leaves this all be hind
F G
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
C C/B F
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
Dm F
So don't insist on standin' in my way
G C
I can't find me if I stay
C F
If you really love me if you care at all
G C F G
You'll gladly step as ide
C F
I've given you the best of me and now the rest of me
G C F G
Is gonna take a ride
F G
There's a gravel road that turns into a two - lane blacktop highway
C G F
That stretches out for miles and miles and miles
Dm G
And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin' out a white line
F G C
To a man I haven't been in quite a while
F G
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
C C/B F
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
[Outro]
Dm F
So don't insist on standin' in my way
G C F
I can't find me if I stay
G C F
I can't find me if I stay
G C F
I can't find me if I stay
G N.C.
I can't find me if I stay
