[Intro]
C Cadd9
[Verse 1]
AmHad to find some Ghigher ground, Amhad some fear to Gget around
Fadd9You can’t say what Gyou don’t know, Fadd9“Later on” won’t Gwork no more
AmLast time through I Ghid my tracks, Amso well I could Gnot get back
Fadd9Yeah, my way was Ghard to find, Fadd9can’t sell your soul for Gpiece of mind
[Chorus]
Fadd9Square one, my Cslate is clear
Fadd9Rest your head on Cme, my dear
It took a Gworld of trouble, it took a Fadd9world of tears
It took a Glong timFadd9e, to get back hereC  
[Verse 2]
AmTry so hard to Gstand alone, sAmtruggle to see Gpast my nose
Fadd9Always had more Gdogs than bones, Fadd9I could never Gwear those clothes
AmIt’s a tired vicGtory, Amyou won, and you Galso lost
Fadd9Told us you were saGtisfied, Fadd9but it never cGame across
[Chorus]
Fadd9Square one, my Cslate is clear
Fadd9Rest your head on Cme, my dear
It took a Gworld of trouble, it took a Fadd9world of tears
It took a Glong timFadd9e, to get back hereC  
[Slide Guitar Solo]

Fadd9Square one, my Cslate is clear
Fadd9Rest your head on Cme, my dear
It took a Gworld of trouble, it took a Fadd9world of tears
It took a Glong timFadd9e, to get back hereC
