It's basically Em Am B7 Am during the whole song.
Intro:  Em   Am   B7   Am(2x)
EmI was on a road        Amto the south of nowhere
   B7She turned to me and looked into my eEmyes
EmI was on the path       Amthat lead to somewhere
   B7The path between me my eyes and her Emmind
EmI got to go, I got to go, she said
   AmI got to go, I got to go, she said
   B7On the path that was on her Emmind
I said: EmWait, wait a minute, don't   Amleave like that
You can't just B7do whatever pops in your head one at a Emtime
EmSome people have their own ideas about what they    Amneed to do
And she was B7one of those people, I'm trying to tEmell you
Interlude:  Em   Am   B7   Em(3x)
EmCouldn't help but think that her sister was    Amnot of the same mind
She had a B7different point of view and looked at life in a diffeEmrent way
EmAnd she was gone living somewhere else,   Amsomewhere far away
   B7So what I'm left with is what I've got to Emdeal with
EmBut that's okay, I'm alright with that,   AmI've heard that counts before the dent
   B7Write to me and I did the best that I couldEm  
EmI can't help but wonder and dream by myself,    Amsit alone with all those books on my shelf
And think   B7about the people that lived before me   Emand all that they could do that I can't
Interlude:  Em   Am   B7   Em(2x)
EmAs we drove along I couldn't help but try to Amstifle my tongue
And try to say the words    B7what will, what will become of me?Em  
EmThe door opened on my side of the car    Amand I was pushed to the ground
   B7The smile on her face, she said: Let it Embe
EmThe ice was cold on my face and    Amthere was no shoes on my feet
   B7Exhaust in my mouth for daEmys
EmMe and God alone   Amstaring at each other hopes again
 B7Oh Lord, what will become of meEm?

It's basically Em Am B7 Am during the whole song.

Em Am B7 Am

Intro: (2x)

Em Am

I was on a road to the south of nowhere

B7 Em

She turned to me and looked into my eyes

Em Am

I was on the path that lead to somewhere

B7 Em

The path between me my eyes and her mind

I got to go, I got to go, she said

B7 Em

On the path that was on her mind

Em Am

I said: Wait, wait a minute, don't leave like that

B7 Em

You can't just do whatever pops in your head one at a time

Em Am

Some people have their own ideas about what they need to do

B7 Em

And she was one of those people, I'm trying to tell you

Em Am B7 Em

Interlude: (3x)

Em Am

Couldn't help but think that her sister was not of the same mind

B7 Em

She had a different point of view and looked at life in a different way

Em Am

And she was gone living somewhere else, somewhere far away

B7 Em

So what I'm left with is what I've got to deal with

Em Am

But that's okay, I'm alright with that, I've heard that counts before the dent

B7 Em

Write to me and I did the best that I could

Em Am

I can't help but wonder and dream by myself, sit alone with all those books on my shelf

B7 Em

And think about the people that lived before me and all that they could do that I can't

Em Am B7 Em

Interlude: (2x)

Em Am

As we drove along I couldn't help but try to stifle my tongue

B7 Em

And try to say the words what will, what will become of me?

Em Am

The door opened on my side of the car and I was pushed to the ground

B7 Em

The smile on her face, she said: Let it be

Em Am

The ice was cold on my face and there was no shoes on my feet

B7 Em

Exhaust in my mouth for days

Em Am

Me and God alone staring at each other hopes again

B7 Em

Oh Lord, what will become of me?

Em Am B7 Em

Outro: (2x)
