Em G D C



Intro: Em G D C x2

Chorus:
             Em
When I need space thatʼs where I go
              G
A place to escape that nobody knows
              D
Where I feel free to let things go
              C
And face this evil that burdens my soul

            Em
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
          G
All the emotions I cannot explain
                    D
Itʼs where I found God

And filled that whole
            C
Itʼs He, myself and I

                     Em
On that lonely dirt road

Verse:
                                      G
I needed somewhere to take my mistakes
                                     D
I didnʼt want my family to see me cry

Theyʼll never know Iʼm
                           C
Carrying all of this weight

Dealing with the pressure
                    Em
Of trying to provide

                                       G
No sign of struggle can show on my face
                                            D
They ask if Iʼm OK I just flash them a smile
                                   C
Fire up that engine to take me away
                                             Em
Iʼm speeding through emotions with every mile

On that road is where I find my peace
     G
I remember daddy told me about some times like these
D
On that road is where my minds at ease
        C
I keep driving life away, rejecting change

So

Chorus:
             Em
When I need space thatʼs where I go
              G
A place to escape that nobody knows
              D
Where I feel free to let things go
              C
And face this evil that burdens my soul

            Em
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
          G
All the emotions I cannot explain
                    D
Itʼs where I found God

And filled that whole
            C
Itʼs He, myself and I

                     Em
On that lonely dirt road

Verse:

I tried my best to plant the seeds
            G
And then I watered everything that was in my life
D
But as aman, the only flowers that you get
                C
Are when youʼre 6 feet under on the day you die

Em
I think I feel the pain my father felt
                     G
Itʼs finally sinking in

Looking back all I see is his eyes
D
He said that house is not a home
                           C
Unless you build it on respect

With some kids and a loving wife

Em
If these walls could talk
                              G
I bet theyʼd say itʼs all my fault

That I donʼt try hard
              D
That I ainʼt man enough

That I ainʼt standing up
             C
That I just burn everything

That my hands touch woh oh

Em
If these walls could talk

I bet theyʼd say Iʼm to blame
G
That Iʼm the one who put myself inside of all of these chains
D
That my addictive personalities what ran them away
C
And that I hurt myself by staying quiet

            Em
And not explaining Iʼm broken

In places, I canʼt even see
G
I know thereʼs gotta be a heaven

Because the hell thatʼs in me
D
Is taking a dangerous toll
          C
That Iʼm paying with all of my soul

Chorus:
             Em
When I need space thatʼs where I go
              G
A place to escape that nobody knows
              D
Where I feel free to let things go
              C
And face this evil that burdens my soul

            Em
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
          G
All the emotions I cannot explain
                    D
Itʼs where I found God

And filled that whole
            C
Itʼs He, myself and I

                     Em
On that lonely dirt road

Em G D C x2
