Verse 1:

The sunlight slipped right through the blinds I'd carefully pulled down
A minorAm
Dragged me from my dreamin' and I woke up on the ground
  FF                 DmDm
The phone was ringing by my head just like I knew it would
G+G              C majorC
News from Colorado's never good


Verse 2:
  C majorC
My brother stole another car, they're holdin' him downtown
A minorAm
Sister's tellin' everyone he's in the army now
FF               DmDm
Mama only says the things that Daddy says she should

FF
How'd I get so far away

Seems like only yesterday
 C majorC                 FF
I took my first few steps out on my own
FF
Lookin' in the mirror now
 DmDm
I see a thousand miles and somehow

Colorado doesn't feel like home


Verse 3:
C majorC
Ain't no way to go back even if I wanted to

Breaks my heart but somehow I have always understood
