Em D C
There is a long hard Road that winds so far behind me,
G Am C
Its so cold Im about to die,
Em
Chasing a dream around the world
D C
Has got me feeling down
G F C
Though it use to make me high
Am D Am Em
Looking for answers searching for the truth,
C B/G Am
In an ocean of lies.
D G Am Em
trying to find a reason to make the whole thing rhyme,
C D G
will make you old before your time

Em
When I was younger,
D C
I thought I ruled the world ,
G Am C
It was an oyster at my feet,
Em
Dancing to my own drum,
D C
fishing out the pearl
G F C
wish I could have been much more discreet
Am D
Ive lived a lifetime,
Am Em
acting out a part,
C B/G Am
Its been a long uphill climb,
D G Am Em
now all the things that use to mean so much to me
C D G
Have made me old before my time,
Chorus:
C G F#/G
Wondering aimlessly,wondering aloud,
Em C D
could it ever be much different now,
C
Remind me of the past,
G F#/G
I slip into a dream,
Em C D
funny things aint never what they seem,
Solo:
same as verse
Em
Living like children,
D C
never doing what we are told ,
G Am C
Would not hesitate to take a chance,
Em D C
That Road behind me now was paved with fools gold,
G F C
Its almost time for the victory dance,
Am D
No more feeling guilty,
Am Em
for things I never did,
C B/G Am
feeling nothing for my crime ,
D G
Living like a gypsy ,
Am Em
dreaming like a kid,
C D G
Has made me old before my time
There is a long hard Road, it lies so far behind me
