      [Verse]
G                      C                Em     D
 When I was six years old I broke my leg
G               C                   Em         D
 I was running from my brother and his friends
G                 C                    Em                  D    
 And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down
G                C
 I was younger then,
Em                 D
Take me back to when...

[Pre-chorus]
  C            D                G
 I found my heart and broke it here
                    C                      C
 Made friends and lost them through the years
               D                 G            
 And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long,
 C
 I know I've grown
C             D
 And I can't wait to go home

[Chorus]
 G           C
 I'm on my way
Em          D         G            C
 Driving at 90 down those country lanes
 Em          D
 Singing to 'Tiny Dancer'
     G          C           Em       D
 And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
G                C     Em       D     
 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

(G C Em D)

[Verse]
G              C               Em                   D
 Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
G                  C                      Em                    D 
 Running from the law in the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
G                C                Em 
 Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
           D                    G
 I don't reckon that I did it right
                     C
 But I was younger then,
Em                  D 
 Take me back to when...

[Pre-chorus]
        C         D                 G 
 We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
                  C                            C
 We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
            D                     G              C                  C
 Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
             D             
 But I can't wait to go home

[Chorus]
G           C
 I'm on my way,
 Em        D            G            C
 Driving at 90 down those country lanes 
Em            D
 Singing to 'Tiny Dancer'
     G           C          Em     D
 And I miss the way you make me feel,and it's real
G                C      Em        D
 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

(Em C G D)

[Bridge]
Em           C
 One friend left to sell clothes,
G           D
 One works down by the coast,
Em            C
 One had two kids but lives alone,
G        D
 One's brother overdosed,
Em       C
 One's already on his second wife
G            D
 One's just barely getting by
    Em              C
 But these people raised me
      G       D
 And I can't wait to go home

[Chorus]
  G          C
 I'm on my way,
 Em          D           G              C
 I still remember these old country lanes,
      Em          D
 When we did not know the answers,
     G           C         Em       D
 And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real,
G                C      Em       D                    G
 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill.
