[Intro]
G C D G C D
[Verse]
G C D
You save your money boy, bought you some shoes
G C D
The highway called and you heard it's cue
G C D
I know you thought you had it beat
C D
But now you're leaving on a one way street
G C D
[Chorus]
C D G
It's a hard, hard lesson, but you're gonna have to learn it
C D G
It's a long cold swim up against the current
C D G C
Somewhere down the line you're gonna have to turn it around
C D G C D G C D
Boy right now you're nowhere bound
[Verse]
G C D
Her words still echo in your mind
G C D
But fade away as you cross the county line
G C D
Running from trouble or from the truth
C D
It doesn't matter either way you lose
[Chorus]
C D G
It's a hard, hard lesson, but you're gonna have to learn it
C D G
It's a long cold swim up against the current
C D G C
Somewhere down the line you're gonna have to turn it around
C D C D C D C D G
Boy right now you're nowhere bound
[Bridge]
D C D
Well you walk ten miles just to make new tracks
C D
But you turn around and find that it's twenty miles back
Em C
And it's never gonna change if you keep on leaving
D
Your heart's gonna break, but never break even
[Verse]
G C D
Where to now, do you know?
G C D
One thing's for certain, gonna reap just what you sow
G C D
And all you planted was heartache and pain
C D
Don't look now but it looks like rain
[Chorus]
C D G
It's a hard, hard lesson, but you're gonna have to learn it
C D G
It's a long cold swim up against the current
C D G C
Somewhere down the line you're gonna have to turn it around
D G C D
Boy right now you're nowhere bound
