The Way I Oughta Go chords by Bella White

♫ Intro:

A



♫ Verse 1:
A               A7                 D
  Yet another sleepless night, no dreaming
                                  A
I woke again to the absence of your words
      A            A7        D
To a big old empty bed and the feeling

I could scream at the top of my voice
                        A
And still
I would not be heard

♫ Chorus:
      F#m         E/Ab                  A       A7
And I know in the morning where you'll find me
D                             A
Staring at the ceiling on my own
A7            D
Well, my momma fell in love in East Virginia
                              A
Maybe Richmond's the way
I oughta to go

♫ Verse 2:
        A            A7             D
I was raised on the trust and wishful thinking
                                   A
That my momma instilled in me when I was born
                        A7             D
Well, sometimes it got away without my knowing
                                A
But mostly, it just helped me to be bold

♫ Verse 3:
     A           A7                   D
And now
I'm so scared of what might happen
                           A
Maybe I'm just too young to know
                              A7          D
For at least that's what the people like to tell me
                                        A
Especially the ones that I thought I loved the most

♫ Chorus:
      F#m         E/Ab                  A       A7
And I know in the morning where you'll find me
D                             A
Staring at the ceiling on my own
A7               D
Well, my daddy fell in love in North Carolina
                              A
Maybe Charlotte's the way
I oughta go

♫ Instrumental:
F#m    E/Ab   A    D    A

D    A


♫ Verse 4:
     A              A7              D
Now to me, the word love has lost all meaning
                                        A
It's just an empty sound I thought I'd always known
                     A7             D
For my daddy used to sing it to my momma
                                   A
But then he went and he left her all alone

♫ Chorus:
      F#m         E/Ab                  A       A7
And I know in the morning where you'll find me
D                          A
Staring at the ceiling on my own
                      A7          D
Well, dreaming never met me in Alberta
                                         A
So I packed my things
Tennessee
I did go
                     A7           D
Well, dreaming never met me in Alberta
                                         A
So I packed my things
Tennessee
I did go
