INTRO:
A E  A E
A  A  A  A


VERSE:
  A
Dirty broken dishes
     A
Cigarette burns on the floor
     A
She held a look of disbelief
     A
And wandered through the door
           Bm                                D
To have a seat and meet the parents of the child
                            A   A
That was heading the wrong way

           Bm             A
And it's probably seven years
           D                                   A   A
Since she turned around and hit the road that day


VERSE:
 A
Paper tearing off the walls
   A
A rotten, moldy sink
          A
Well, he wandered to the counter
         A
Just to fix himself a drink
            Bm
Like there wasn't something wrong
          D                             A    A
Like he couldn't see the sorrow in his soul

        Bm             A
And it must be seven years
          D                                   A     A
Since he tipped his hat and told 'em all "So long"


INSTRUMENTAL:
 A  A  A  A
Bm  D  A  A


VERSE:
       A
Well, she was so distracted
        A
By the color of the room
     A
She never thought that she would see
     A
Her little flower bloom
              Bm
And take the cards that he was dealt
           D                                     A    A
Into the house the big, bad wolf could not blow down

        Bm             A
And it must be seven years now
  D                             A     A
Since they turned their lives around


CHORUS:
           F#m
She said, "Stay on track
 D
Don't let me see you lookin' back
       Bm                                     Bm G D
Never mind what's left behind and don't look back
N.C.        A    A
Don't look back"


INSTRUMENTAL:
A  A  D  D  G  D  A  A  G  D  A  A
A  A  D  D  G  D  A  A  G  D  A  A


VERSE:
           A
Well the house shrunk in the rearview
          A
And they left it far behind
    A
It faded out of sight
              A
Back to the shadows of her mind
           Bm
Like the shards of shattered mirrors
         D                                A     A
Broken pieces scattered o'er the burial ground

        Bm             A
And it must be seven years now
 D                          A    A
Since they got out of that town


CHORUS:
           F#m
She said, "Stay on track
 D
Don't let me see you lookin' back
       Bm                                     Bm G D
Never mind what's left behind and don't look back
N.C.        A    A
Don't look back"
