[Verse 1]
AmI'm standing at the crossroads
FThere are many roads to Amtake
AmBut I stand here so silently
For Ffear of a mistakeAm  
  FOne road leads to paradiAmse
  FOne road leads to painAm  
  FOne road leads to freedoAmm
G(I swear) thFey all look the saAmme
AmI've traveled many roads
And Fnot all of them were Amgood
AmThe foolish ones taught more to me
Than the Fwise ones ever Amcould
  FOne road leads to sacriAmfice
  FOne road leads to shameAm  
  FOne road leads to freedAmom
G(I swear) Fthey all look the Amsame
[Chorus]
There are Froads I never travAmeled
There were Fturns I did not tAmake
There were Fmysteries I could not Amunravel
But Gleaving you was Fmy only misAmtake
[Verse 2]
AmSo I'm standing at the crossroads
FImprisoned by this Amdoubt
AmAs if by doing nothing
FI might find my way Amout
  FOne road leads to paAmradise
  FOne road leads to paAmin
  FOne road leads to frAmeedom
GBut Fthey all look the Amsame
[Chorus]
There were Froads I never Amtraveled
There were Fturns I did not Amtake
There were Fmysteries I could not unAmravel
But Gleaving you was Fmy only misAmtake
There were Froads I never Amtraveled
There were Fturns I did not Amtake
There were Fmysteries I could not unAmravel
But Gleaving you was Fmy only misAmtake
But Gleaving you was Fmy only misAmtake

[Verse 1]

I'm standing at the crossroads

F Am

There are many roads to take

But I stand here so silently

F Am

For fear of a mistake

F Am

One road leads to paradise

F Am

One road leads to pain

F Am

One road leads to freedom

G F Am

(I swear) they all look the same

I've traveled many roads

F Am

And not all of them were good

The foolish ones taught more to me

F Am

Than the wise ones ever could

F Am

One road leads to sacrifice

F Am

One road leads to shame

F Am

One road leads to freedom

G F Am

(I swear) they all look the same

[Chorus]

F Am

There are roads I never traveled

F Am

There were turns I did not take

F Am

There were mysteries I could not unravel

G F Am

But leaving you was my only mistake

[Verse 2]

So I'm standing at the crossroads

F Am

Imprisoned by this doubt

As if by doing nothing

F Am

I might find my way out

F Am

One road leads to paradise

F Am

One road leads to pain

F Am

One road leads to freedom

G F Am

But they all look the same

[Chorus]

F Am

There were roads I never traveled

F Am

There were turns I did not take

F Am

There were mysteries I could not unravel

G F Am

But leaving you was my only mistake

F Am

There were roads I never traveled

F Am

There were turns I did not take

F Am

There were mysteries I could not unravel

G F Am

But leaving you was my only mistake

G F Am

But leaving you was my only mistake
