(No Capo)
Intro.:  |(C) |(Am)(F)| x 2
(C) 13 in the thick of a cornfield
I (Am)learned to fight, keep (F)roads tied, and not chill
(C) Never did change, stayed strange, hopped a (Am)train
My first chance I (F)got out of Smallville
(C) Life has it's way of movin' (F)you on, don't it?
Solo:  |(C) |(Am)(F)|
(C) My first stop was a pawn shop
Dropped a (Am)pretty penny for a cheap (F)fender with a song in it
(C) I had a quick right hand, and an old band
(Am) I thought good friends (F) would make a good band
(C) Life has it's way of provin' (F)you wrong, don't it?
(Chorus)
I've been (C)right and I've been wrong
Somewhere (F)in between for (C)so long
Live the night, miss the light, and I've been (F)shown it
(C) Life has it's way of keepin' (F)you strong, don't it?
|(C) |(Am)(F)|
(C) So there I was, a long way from nowhere
(Am) Fried mind, spare (F)time and a blank stare
(C) I was just numb enough not to feel a thing
(Am) After all we (F)didn't share a set of rings
(C) Besides, how bad could it be!
She (Am)never found out I'd (F)never come clean
(C) Life has it's way of leadin' (F)you on, don't it?
(Chorus)
I've been (C)right and I've been wrong
Somewhere (F)in between for (C)so long
Live the night, miss the light, and I've been (F)shown it
(C) Life has it's way of keepin' (F)you strong, don't it?
|(C) |(Am)(F)| x 2
(C) Well now, have you ever been down the (Am)old back road?
(F)On time borrowed
(C) It's a trip, it's a b***h, it's an on and (Am)off light switch
No-(F)body follows
(C) Everybody's got their own past
Skele-(Am)tons to stash, don't look (F)back if you do laugh
(C) Life has it's way of movin' (F)you on, don't it?
