Dragged me from my dreamin' and I woke up on the ground

The phone was ringing by my head just like I knew it would

How'd I get so far away

Seems like only yesterday

I took my first few steps out on my own
F
Lookin' in the mirror now

I see a thousand miles and somehow
G
Colorado doesn't feel like home


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

Breaks my heart but somehow I have always understood
