Capo 1st Fret (To Match Recording)

Intro:  (C)  (F)  (G)

(C) Lately the ties that bind
(F) Feel like a (G) noose around my (C) neck (F) (G)
(C) Chokin' the life from me
And (F) leavin' my (G) dreams gaspin' for (C) breath (F) (G)
(F) I've lost sight and so have you
Of the (G) man you were attracted to
(C) We lost me some(G)where along the (F) line
And (Dm) I can't live like this no more
(G) Knowing just outside that door
(F) There's a road that (G) leaves this all be(C)hind

 	 There's a (F) half a tank of freedom in my (G) Chevy and I'm leavin'
 	 And (C) there's nothin' in this (C/B) world you can (F) say
 	 So (Dm) don't insist on standin' in my (F) way
 	 I can't (G) find me if I (C) stay

(C) If you really love me if you (F) care at all
You'll (G) gladly step as(C)ide (F) (G)
I've (C) given you the best of me and now the (F) rest of me
Is (G) gonna take a (C) ride (F) (G)
There's a (F) gravel road that turns into a (G) two - lane blacktop highway
That (C) stretches out for (G) miles and miles and (F) miles
And the (Dm) mileposts and the road signs are (G) pointin' out a white line
To a (F) man I haven't (G) been in quite a(C)while

 	 There's a (F) half a tank of freedom in my (G) Chevy and I'm leavin'
 	 And there's (C) nothin' in this (C/B) world you can (F) say
 	 So (Dm) don't insist on standin' in my (F) way
 	 I can't (G) find me if I (C) stay (F)
 	 I can't (G) find me if I (C) stay (F)
 	 I can't (G) find me if I (C) stay (F)
 	 I can't (G) find me if I (NC) stay
