Tom: G
Em
I woke with a hunger
G
For what I can’t say
C
I slept through the night
D7
But all was not right
G
When I met the new day
[Verse 2]
Em
One drink from the river
G
And you will forget
C
That if you want to live
D7
You’ve got to forgive
G
But I’m not there yet
[Chorus 1]
C
I heard that the high road
G
Is the road I should take
C
To be like the branches
D7
That bend but don’t break
C
I wanna take the high road
G
But I’ve lost the map
Am D7
And my life on the low road
G
Always calls me back
[Verse 3]
Em
I’m not playing the victim
G
Well so what if I am
C
If he fell down the well
D7
Would I wish him well
G
Would I give a damn
[Verse 4]
Em
I’ve dug in my heels
G
I’ve stiffened my back
C
What would Jesus do
D7
And other sages too
G
Probably not that
[Chorus 2]
C
Been told that the high road
G
Is a much better trip
C
If you heed the directions
D7
And follow the script
C
Now I’m here at the crossroads
G
Don’t know which way to go
Am D7
My heart wants the high road
G
But my head wants the low
[Instrumantal]
Em G C D7
C G Am D7
[Chorus 3]
C
I know it’s the high road
G
That will set me free
C
It’s the road that’ll get me
D7
Where I want to be
C
So if you take the high road
G
I say don’t ever leave
Am D7
You don’t wanna take the low road
G
Take it from me
