 ||CHORDS||
 
 D               Em             
 Side of the road, I stopped and
 G                       A7      
 Picked up the pieces of your car
 D                 Em              
 You were just standing, speechless
 G                      A7     
 Knowing you'd never travel far
 
 G               A7                D           G/B 
 That's what you do when someone's given up on you
 G                 A7              D                      
 And that's when I knew that I was giving up and giving in
 G             A7              
 That's when I knew where I was
 G             A7              D   
 That's when I knew that I was home
 
 D            Em            G   
 Stuck in the middle of the road
                         A7        
 For better or worse, we compromise
 D            Em               
 You may have won my hand, dear
 G                    A7         
 But it was the consolation prize
 
 G             A7              D              G/B 
 That's when I knew that I was running out on you
 G               A7              D                           
 That's what you do when time is running out and running down
 G             A7              
 That's when I knew where I was
 G             A7              D   
 That's when I knew that I was home
 
 C#m            A           
 Where does the heart reside
 G#                    C#m  A G# 
 If not where I lay my head?
 C#m               A          
 I could run but I'm petrified
 G#                 C#m 
 And choose this instead
 G#          F# A 
 Again and again
 
 ||SOLO||
 You can play this with a pick or fingerstyle if you choose. Both methods sound excellent.

 D          Em              
 End of the road I'm running
 G                         A7          
 And look back to survey where I'd been
 D            Em               
 Someday I'll write and ask you
 G                    A7           
 If you could imagine what I'd seen
 
 G               A7               D               G/B 
 How could you think that I could turn my back on you?
 G           A7                  D                              
 How did you think this would be turning out? And turning 'round
 G            A7              
 What could I do but call you?
 G            A7              D    
 What could I do to call this home?
 
 G             A7              
 That's when I knew where I was
 G             A7              D   
 That's when I knew that I was home
