     (x2)
[Verse]
D5              F#              G/B       A7sus4  A7
I have not been home since you left long ago
D5      F#                  G/B   A7sus4 A7
I'm thumbing my way back to he____aven
  D5       F#              G/B            A7sus4 A7
Counting steps, walking backwards on the road
D5     F#                   G/B    A7sus4 A7
I'm counting my way back to he_____aven
[Chorus]
G/B                                          C
I can't be free with what's locked inside of me
                Am                       G
If there was a key, you took it in your hand
 G/B                                                      C
There's no wrong or right, but I'm sure there's good and bad
Am                      G/B
The questions linger overhead
[Verse]
     D5                F#                  G/B        A7sus4 A7
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
D5      F#                  G/B   A7sus4 A7
I'm thumbing my way back to he____aven
D5                    F#
I wish that I could hold you
G/B           A7sus4 A7
I wish that I had
D5  F#               G/B   A7sus4 A7
    Thinking 'bout heaven
[Bridge]
Dm             F               C                  Em
I let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
A#                                       F
And in time I've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
Dm                  F                C        Em
I can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
A#                                    F
Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
[Chorus]
G/B                       Bm                   C
All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
               Am          G
Choosing the shiny ones instead
G/B                          Bm           C      Am  G/B
I turned my back, now there's no turning back
[Verse]
D5                      F#                 G/B        A7sus4 A7
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
D5     F#                 G/B    A7sus4 A7
    I smile, but who am I ki____dding?
D5                           F#                              G/B  A7sus4 A7
I'm just walking the mile, every once in a while I'll get a ride
D5      F#                  G/B   A7sus4 A7
I'm thumbing my way back to he____aven
[Outro]
D5      F#                  G/B   A7sus4 A7
    thumbing my way back to he____aven
