||CHORDS|| D Em Side of the road, I stopped and G A7 Picked up the pieces of your car D Em You were just standing, speechless G A7 Knowing you'd never travel far G A7 D G/B That's what you do when someone's given up on you G A7 D And that's when I knew that I was giving up and giving in G A7 That's when I knew where I was G A7 D That's when I knew that I was home D Em G Stuck in the middle of the road A7 For better or worse, we compromise D Em You may have won my hand, dear G A7 But it was the consolation prize G A7 D G/B That's when I knew that I was running out on you G A7 D That's what you do when time is running out and running down G A7 That's when I knew where I was G A7 D That's when I knew that I was home C#m A Where does the heart reside G# C#m A G# If not where I lay my head? C#m A I could run but I'm petrified G# C#m And choose this instead G# F# A Again and again ||SOLO|| You can play this with a pick or fingerstyle if you choose. Both methods sound excellent.

D Em End of the road I'm running G A7 And look back to survey where I'd been D Em Someday I'll write and ask you G A7 If you could imagine what I'd seen G A7 D G/B How could you think that I could turn my back on you? G A7 D How did you think this would be turning out? And turning 'round G A7 What could I do but call you? G A7 D What could I do to call this home? G A7 That's when I knew where I was G A7 D That's when I knew that I was home
