?The Long Road?
By Cary Ann Hearst
?Dust and Bones?
Capo on 3rd
I Gfelt like I was Emmade of Bmstone
Bone Cdry from Gbleeding, every Amtime I through of B7leaving
My Cvoice was Gtaken from my Dmouth
Then you Gcame through the Emrain and to my Bmdoor
The Cstreets were aGbandoned, Amsoaked through where you were B7standing
And the Cwater was Bmflooding the Emground
So don't B7call my name if you Ccan't bear the Amweight
It's been a Clong Groad to B7feeling alCright but I Gget there one Bmstep at a Emtime
They will Cstring you up, Gbaby, wherB7ever you Care just as Glong as the Dropes are Gtight
So don't confuse me with Emsomebody Bmelse
Who might Ccower or Gcry out, Amcheat, steal from you, or B7lie about
CWhat my Gintentions might Dbe
Well we Gmight be a Emcouple of Bmjerks
Who took Cleave of our Gsenses, set Amfire to our B7defenses
And Claid our Bmhearts on the Emtracks
Please don't B7call my name if you Ccan't bear the Amweight
It's been a Clong Groad to B7feelin' alCright but I Gget there one Bmstep at a Emtime
They will Cstring you up, Gbaby, wherB7ever you Care just as Glong as the Dropes are Gtight
So lay your Emears to the Bmground
Can't you Chear that train Gcoming, Amain't no use in B7running
It's Cbound to Bmroll you Emdown 
Don't B7call my name if you Ccan't bear the Amweight
It's been a Clong Groad to B7feeling alCright but I Gget there one Bmstep at a Emtime
They will Cstring you up, Gbaby, wherB7ever you Care just as Glong as the Dropes are Gtight
They will Cstring you up, Gbaby, wherB7ever you Care just as Glong as the Dropes are Gtight

G Em Bm

I felt like I was made of stone

Bone dry from bleeding, every time I through of leaving
