The Long Road

Tom: Em

  G               Em      Bm
I felt like I was made of stone
     C        G               Am                B7
Bone dry from bleeding, every time I through of leaving
   C         G             D
My voice was taken from my mouth

         G                Em             Bm
Then you came through the rain and to my door
    C             G         Am                            B7
The streets were abandoned, soaked through where you were standing
        C         Bm           Em
And the water was flooding the ground

         B7                  C              Am
So don't call my name if you can't bear the weight
            C    G       B7        C           G             Bm        Em
It's been a long road to feeling alright but I get there one step at a time
          C              G         B7       C           G           D         G
They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight

                         Em       Bm
So don't confuse me with somebody else
          C        G        Am                        B7
Who might cower or cry out, cheat, steal from you, or lie about
C       G                D
What my intentions might be

        G          Em        Bm
Well we might be a couple of jerks
         C            G           Am          B7
Who took leave of our senses, set fire to our defenses
    C        Bm            Em
And laid our hearts on the tracks

             B7                  C              Am
Please don't call my name if you can't bear the weight
            C    G       B7        C           G             Bm        Em
It's been a long road to feelin' alright but I get there one step at a time
          C              G         B7       C           G           D         G
They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight

            Em          Bm
So lay your ears to the ground
          C               G       Am              B7
Can't you hear that train coming, ain't no use in running
     C        Bm       Em
It's bound to roll you down 

      B7                  C              Am
Don't call my name if you can't bear the weight
            C    G       B7        C           G             Bm        Em
It's been a long road to feeling alright but I get there one step at a time
          C              G         B7       C           G           D         G
They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight
          C              G         B7       C           G           D         G
They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight
