[/tab]\r\nThe thing that kept their power from them slowed me down awhile. \r\n[tab]    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nI remember the morning it was the closing of my youth, [/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nwhen I said goodbye to no one and in that way faced my truth...[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nand a walk along the river... [/tab]\r\nand a rain a'coming down...\r\n[tab]      [ch]F[/ch]         [ch]G[/ch]\r\nand a girl on a road.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nThere's a rhythm to a highway to match the rhythm of your fears. [/tab]\r\nMy shopping bag possessions scattered with my splattered tears. \r\n[tab]  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nA string of nights in truck stops and in darkness and in lies [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]C[/ch]\r\nand a man they all called Tigerboy...he just had to show me why. [/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nHe just had to give me something I'd forever understand...[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]F[/ch]         [ch]G[/ch] \r\nas a girl on a road.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nCHORUS:\r\n[tab]           [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd I sing rain upon the water makes footprints sunk in sand. [/tab]\r\nAnger upon angry hurt, take me by the hand. \r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nTake me by the heartstrings, pull me deep inside [/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]C[/ch]                                                    [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nand say I'm one with your forgiveness and separate from my pride.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]        [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI don't know what it's like for you but here's what it's like for me... [/tab]\r\nI wanted to turn beautiful and serve Eternity \r\n[tab]    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nand never follow money or love with greasy hands, [/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]C[/ch]\r\nor move the earth and waters just to make it fit my plans. [/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nMy eyes would be the harbor, [/tab]\r\nmy words the perfect place \r\n[tab]      [ch]F[/ch]         [ch]G[/ch]\r\nfor a girl on a road.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]  [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI met you in the Summer, I left you in the Fall. [/tab]\r\nIn between we did some living...I like to think that's all...\r\n[tab]    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nbut now I see words can be like weapons no matter that they're small, [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]C[/ch]\r\nand I used three tiny words on you and then beat it down the hall. [/tab]\r\n[tab]          [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nDoes this road go on forever? [/tab]\r\nDoes this terror know no end...\r\n[tab]      [ch]F[/ch]         [ch]G[/ch]\r\nfor a girl on a road?
