Em                                              D         CThere is a long hard Road that winds so far behind me,
G                           Am  CIts so cold Im about to die,
EmChasing a dream around the world
D                        CHas got me feeling down
G               F              CThough it use to make me high
Am                 D          Am             EmLooking for answers searching for the truth,
C        B/G        AmIn an ocean of lies.
D                      G              Am               Emtrying to find a reason to make the whole thing rhyme,
C                       D            Gwill make you old before your time



EmWhen I was younger,
D                             CI thought I ruled the world ,
G                            Am   CIt was an oyster at my feet,
EmDancing to my own drum,
D                    Cfishing out the pearl
G                            F             Cwish I could have been much more discreet
Am             DIve lived a lifetime,
Am               Emacting out a part,
C              B/G             AmIts been a long uphill climb,
D                G                          Am      Emnow all the things that use to mean so much to me
C                        D       GHave made me old before my time,


Chorus:
C                                 G   F#/GWondering aimlessly,wondering aloud,
Em         C                    Dcould it ever be much different now,
CRemind me of the past,
G                    F#/GI slip into a dream,
Em                C                     Dfunny things aint never what they seem,

Solo:
same as verse  



EmLiving like children,
           D                   Cnever doing what we are told ,
G                                   Am  CWould not hesitate to take a chance,
Em                                              D     CThat Road behind me now was paved with fools gold,
G              F                       CIts almost time for the victory dance,
Am                      DNo more feeling guilty,
Am                       Emfor things I never did,
C           B/G                  Amfeeling nothing for my crime ,
D                   GLiving like a gypsy ,
Am                    Emdreaming like a kid, 
C                     D         GHas made me old before my time

There is a long hard Road, it lies so far behind me
