[Em]There is a long hard Road that winds so far behi[D]nd me,[C]
[G]Its so cold Im about to die,[Am] [C]
[Em]Chasing a dream around the world
[D]Has got me feeling down[C]
[G]Though it use to[F] make me high[C]
[Am]Looking for answers[D] searching [Am]for the truth,[Em]
[C]In an oce[B/G]an of lies.[Am]
[D]trying to find a reason[G] to make the wh[Am]ole thing rhyme,[Em]
[C]will make you old before[D] your time[G]
[Em]When I was younger,
[D]I thought I ruled the world ,[C]
[G]It was an oyster at my feet,[Am] [C]
[Em]Dancing to my own drum,
[D]fishing out the pearl[C]
[G]wish I could have been much m[F]ore discreet[C]
[Am]Ive lived a lif[D]etime,
[Am]acting out a part[Em],
[C]Its been a long[B/G] uphill climb,[Am]
[D]now all the thing[G]s that use to mean so much [Am]to me[Em]
[C]Have made me old before m[D]y time,[G]
Chorus:
[C]Wondering aimlessly,wondering alou[G]d,[F#/G]
[Em]could it ev[C]er be much different [D]now,
[C]Remind me of the past,
[G]I slip into a dream,[F#/G]
[Em]funny things aint [C]never what they seem,[D]
Solo:
same as verse
[Em]Living like children,
never doing[D] what we are told ,[C]
[G]Would not hesitate to take a chance,[Am] [C]
[Em]That Road behind me now was paved with fools gol[D]d,[C]
[G]Its almost time[F] for the victory dance,[C]
[Am]No more feeling guilty,[D]
[Am]for things I never did,[Em]
[C]feeling noth[B/G]ing for my crime ,[Am]
[D]Living like a gypsy [G],
[Am]dreaming like a kid, [Em]
[C]Has made me old before[D] my time[G]
There is a long hard Road, it lies so far behind me
