[Am] [C]
[Dm] [Am]
You've prayed to [C] have your name [D] scattered [F] on the lips [Am] of the young.
[C] Now you claim [D] that it's you [F] on the tips of [Am] their tongue.
And if you're [C] proud of [D] what you had to [F] kill to get your [Am] thrill, well,
I [C] bet it stings to [D] give up everything [F] and [E] realize that they don't want you.
[Am] It's a lonely road [C] where the forgotten go, [Dm] where your misery [Am] finds its company.
It's a long way down [C] to the sacred ground [Dm] where the grief was [E] there for me.
[Am] [C] Whoa,
[Dm] [F] whoa, [Am] [C] whoa, [Dm] whoa, [F] whoa, whoa, [A] whoa, whoa.
[C] Hollow sound [D] is ringing [F] where your heart used [Am] to be.
[C] Have you found [D] that your [F] admiration will never set [Am] you free?
[C] Get your life [D] prepared.
You're next in [F] line for judgment [Am] day.
Now, [C] aren't you praying?
[D] Aren't you begging [F] that you're anyone [E] else?
[Am] It's a lonely road [C] where the forgotten go, [Dm] where your misery finds its [Am] company.
It's a long way down [C] to the sacred ground [Dm] where the grief was [Am] there [E] for me.
[Am] [C] Whoa, [Dm] whoa, [F] whoa, [Am] [C] whoa, [Dm] whoa, [F] whoa, [Am] [C] [Dm] whoa, [F]
[Am] whoa, [C] whoa, whoa, [Dm] whoa, whoa, [F] whoa.
[Am] Well, I bet you're sorry [C] now [D] you did this to [F] your soul.
Well, [Am] I bet you're, [G]
[D] well, you're [F]
[Am] sorry.
Road [C] where the forgotten go, [D] where your misery finds its [Am] company.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's a long way down [C] to the sacred ground [Dm] where the grief was there [E] for me.
[Am] It's a lonely road [C] where the forgotten go, [Dm] where your misery finds its [Am] company.
It's a long way down to [C] the sacred ground [Dm] where the grief was there [Em] for me.
[Am] [C] Whoa, [Dm] whoa, [F] whoa,
[Am] whoa, [C] [Dm] whoa, [F] whoa,
[Am] whoa, [C] whoa, [Dm] whoa,
[Am] [C] whoa, whoa, [Dm] whoa, whoa, [F] whoa, whoa.
[Am] [A]
