[Ab]
[Eb] And I wonder how I ever was that [Ab] kind.
But the wild road I was rambling was always out there calling,
and you said a hundred times [Eb] I should have died.
Then you reached down and touched me and lifted me up with you,
so I believe it was a road [Ab] I was meant to ride.
I'm [Db] like a soldier [Eb] getting [Bb] over [Ab] the war.
I'm [Db] like a young man [Eb] getting over [Ab] his crazy days,
[Db] like a bandit [Eb] getting over his [E] [Fm] lawless ways.
[Db] I don't have [Eb] to do that [Ab] anymore.
I'm like [Db] a soldier getting [Eb] over [Gb] [Ab] the war.
There are nights I don't remember,
and pain that's been forgotten,
and a lot of things I choose not to [Eb] recall.
There are faces that come to me in my darkest secret memories,
faces that I wish would not come back [Ab] at all.
But in my dreams parade of lovers from the other times and places,
there's not one that matters now [Cm] no matter [Eb] who.
I'm just thankful for the journey and that I survived the battles,
and that my spoils of victory [Ab] is you.
I'm like [Db] a soldier getting [Eb] over [Bb] [Ab] the war.
I'm like [Db] a young man getting [Eb] over [Ab] his crazy days,
[Db] like a bandit getting [Eb] over [Ab] his [Fm] lawless ways.
[Db] Every day [Eb] gets better than the day [Ab] before.
I'm like [Db] a soldier getting [Eb] over [Ab] the war.
[Eb] And I wonder how I ever was that [Ab] kind.

and you said a hundred times [Eb] I should have died.

so I believe it was a road [Ab] I was meant to ride.
