[Bm] [E] [A]
[D] [G]
[E] [Em] [D]
I have not been home since [G] you left long [A] ago
[D]
I'm thumbing my way back to [G] hell
[E] [D]
Counting steps, [G] walking backwards on the [A] road
I'm [D]
counting my way [G] back to hell
[E] I [G]
can't be free with what's locked inside of [C] me
If there [Am] was a key, you took [G] it in your hand
There's no wrong or right, but I'm sure there's good and [C] bad
No [Am] questions linger [G] overhead
No [D] matter how cold the winter, [G] there's a springtime [E] ahead
[A] I'm [D]
thumbing my way [Bm] back to [G]
[E] heaven
[D]
Wish that I could hold you
[G]
Wish that [A] I had
[D]
Thinking [G] about [E] heaven
[A]
[D] I let go [Dm] of a rope
[C] Thinking that's what held me [Em] back
[Bb] And in time I've realized
It's [F] now wrapped around my neck
[D] I can't [Dm] see what's next
From [C] this lonely [Em] overpass
[Bb] Hang my head and count my steps [F] as another car goes past
[G] All the rusted signs we ignored throughout [C] our lives
Choosing [Am] the shiny ones [G] instead
I turn my back, now there's no turning [C] back
[Am]
No [G]
[D] matter how cold the winter, [G] there's a springtime [E] ahead
[D] Smile, but who am [G] I kidding?
[E] [A]
[D] I'm just walking the miles
[G] Every once in a while I get it right
[E] I'm [D] thumbing my way [G] back to heaven
[E]
[D] Thumbing my way [G] back to heaven
[E]
[D] Thumbing my way [G] back to heaven
[E] [A] [D]
