[Intro]

C   G   F
C  Em  F  G


[Verse 1]

C                     Am                           Em                  
Dyed in the wool, you've been cornered by a natural desire
           F                                             C
You wanna hop along the with the giddy throng through life
C                       Em              F                      G
But how will you learn to steer when you're grinding all your gears?

C                        Am           Em                  F            
Youve been talking for hours you say time will wash every tower to the sea
C                    Em    F             G
And now you got this worry in your heart
             F             C                    G
When I guess its only life its only natural
            F               C                        G
We all spent a little while going down the rabbit hole
                 Am                       C    
The things they taught you lining up to haunt you
                       G            F    Em
They got your back against the wall
        F                                         G
I called on you on the telephone wont you pick up the receiver


[Chorus] 

C                        G        F           C         
Ive been down the very road  youre walking now
C                    Em              F
It doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome
C                     G          F          Em                      G
Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around


[Instrumental]

C  Am    Em  G


[Verse 2]

C                   Am      Em                      F
You use to be such a lion before you got into all this crying on my lap
C                       Em       F        G
Back when you thought I never get this far
F                        C                   G  
But did you think really I'd shut an open door
 F             C                   G
But futures calling and Imma answer her
     Am                                    C
The wheels in motion but I never drink your potion 
                      G         F    Em
And I know it breaks your heart
F                                             G
Open up your parachute something got to stop the free fall


[Chorus] 

C                              G               F        C         
Ive been down the  very road  youre walking now
C                    Em              F
It doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome
C                     G          F          Em                      G   F C  
Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around


End on G
