Road To Nowhere

	  		
verse 1 
Em                 G                  C               G 
Her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to nowhere 

In the shadows of her second father's shoulders she just stood there 
Em D C 
Crying 
Em D G 
She's crying 
Em                          G                   C                  G 
Then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like war-bound soldiers marching 
Em                   G                  C                G 
And she ran from the truth like wounded men run from the darkness 
Em D C 
When they're dying 
Em D G 
She's dying 

C 
And I told her I loved her 
G                Em 
And she told me she's leaving 
C                                  G              Em 
Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in 
C 
And as she slammed the door and walked away 
               G 
I turned on my radio 
C 
Ooooh no 
                           D 
And I played her a dancing song 
            G 
And got her home 


verse 2 
Em             G                     C             G 
And I had more faith in her than her mother had in Jesus 
Em                 G                   C                G 
But like Judas she rebuked my name for jewels and silver pieces 
Em  D    C 
A wedding ring 
Em  D  G 
A wedding ring 
Em                G             C           G 
And in my darkest hour her eyes filled with desperation 
Em                           G                     C              G 
Her words were sharp and her sword was swift, Lord I have been forsaken 
Em D C 
By my one true love 
Em D G 
My one true love 

C 
And I told her I loved her 
G                Em 
And she told me she's leaving 
C                                  G              Em 
Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in 
C 
And as she slammed the door and walked away 
               G 
I turned on my radio 
C 
Ooooh no 
                           D 
And I played her a dancing song 
            G 
And got her home
 

verse 3 
Em       G                   C                 G 
As I lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared 
Em                 G               C                      G 
I wonder where you are, who you're with, do you think that he cares 
Em D C 
About you 
Em D G 
About you 
Em             G             C                  G 
Now I am not a godly man, my road's twisted and sinful 
Em                        G                      C                G 
But to have you back, I'd bow my head and sing a Southern Baptist hymnal 
Em D C 
Hallelujah 
Em D  C 
Hallelujah 
Em D C G 
Hallelujah 
Em D G 
Hallelujah
