play the em with 3rd and 4th fingers so you can slide between the chords
when some fall from judgment ( C  G)
some fall from grace ( C  G)
some just fall too fall away ( C   G  D)
when you fall, i'll wait
with your secretive ways
in some room off the highway
and i will take the road ( C  G)
and the darkened path ( C  G)
that will lead me back to your door ( Em   G  D)
break
lord i'm hurt, i'm calling
without words, i'm screaming
without sound, i can't get out
so i will take the road
and the darkened path
that will lead me back to your door
(play the chords from the break for this part)
jump, fall off the wagon
in every way, every way
and stand before the jury
with nothing to say, nothing to say
and i will take the road
down that darkened path
it will lead me back to your door
i will take the road ( C  G)
down that darkened path ( D   C  G)
it will lead me back to your door ( C   G  D)
