||CHORDS||

D Em

Side of the road, I stopped and

G A7

Picked up the pieces of your car

D Em

You were just standing, speechless

G A7

Knowing you'd never travel far

G A7 D G/B

That's what you do when someone's given up on you

G A7 D

And that's when I knew that I was giving up and giving in

G A7

That's when I knew where I was

G A7 D

That's when I knew that I was home

D Em G

Stuck in the middle of the road

A7

For better or worse, we compromise

D Em

You may have won my hand, dear

G A7

But it was the consolation prize

G A7 D G/B

That's when I knew that I was running out on you

G A7 D

That's what you do when time is running out and running down

G A7

That's when I knew where I was

G A7 D

That's when I knew that I was home

C#m A

Where does the heart reside

G# C#m A G#

If not where I lay my head?

C#m A

I could run but I'm petrified

G# C#m

And choose this instead

G# F# A

Again and again

||SOLO||

You can play this with a pick or fingerstyle if you choose. Both methods sound excellent.

D Em

End of the road I'm running

G A7

And look back to survey where I'd been

D Em

Someday I'll write and ask you

G A7

If you could imagine what I'd seen

G A7 D G/B

How could you think that I could turn my back on you?

G A7 D

How did you think this would be turning out? And turning 'round

G A7

What could I do but call you?

G A7 D

What could I do to call this home?

G A7

That's when I knew where I was

G A7 D

That's when I knew that I was home
