Verse 1
AbIt was way after midnight, Dbbefore you crossed my Abmind
But I thought of you til the sun broke through and I Dbwatched that road 
Ebunwind
AbFunny how that road, was just like the Dbtrail we mAbade
Every little twist and Dbturn and bump left me fEbeeling worn and fAbrayed
Chorus
DbHow many miles did we wAbander
DbHow many nights did we drive on Abthrough
DbTravelled the road like rolling Abthunder
DbAnd none of them lead to anyEbwhere that we wanted theAbm to
Verse 2
But it wasn't always rough - there was some smooth travelling too
And when the sun came up I was high on a mountain in the morning new
You always told me if I opened my eyes, I would see forever
Maybe I did, maybe that's how I knew that we were never destined to be together  [Chorus]
Verse 3 
Sometimes hurting someone is the kindest thing that a person can do
What more can I say, I'm sorry if I caused your heart to bleed
You were always so kind and gentle and warm and I tried so hard to be that way in return
But you never asked me what I wanted, you just told me what you thought I need [Chorus]
