Key: B


Verse 1:
          C                                G
Well, the face that's starin' at me in the mirror
        Em          D               C
Ain't a face that a young man can recall
                                     G
The lines are gettin' deeper, and my hairs are turnin' grey
       Em            D           C
It's a wonder I have any left at all
     C                            G
This winter, it came on me like a wildfire
        Em                D              C
Burnin' cold and creepin' into these ol' bones
                                    G
With harvest come and gone, another year is windin' down
     Em             D              C
It's best that I be gettin' myself gone

Chorus:
       G               D             C
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
     Em
That was home


Verse 2:
        C                                  G
Well, I finally kicked the smokin' and the hard stuff
  Em               D                   C
I drank enough for three or four men's lives
                                      G
More habits than an honest man should carry
Em               D            C
Choices, good or bad, they've been mine
                                            G
So I've changed a lot of things that needed changin'
  Em              D             C
I started findin' peace with my new demon
                              G
I got drunk in '99 and I just sobered up last year
    Em                   D               C
And guess that I'm still learnin' how to feel


Chorus:
       G               D             C
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
          Em
Somethin' real


Bridge:
        G                                     D
Well, I ain't afraid of dyin', there's people dyin' every day
     Am                                C
I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way
        G                             D
Well, I hope tomorrow finds me with a chance to try again
        Am                          C
Well, I pray the weather's good, my back's against the wind


Chorus:
       G               D             G
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
           Em
That never ends

Bridge:
        G                                     D
Well, I ain't afraid of dyin', there's people dyin' every day
     Am                                C
I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way
        G                             D
Well, I hope tomorrow finds me with a chance to try again
        Am                          C
Well, I pray the weather's good, my back's against the wind
     G                                D
That weather's often stormy, and that rain'll sting your skin
      Am            C
We'll worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes, my friend
     G                           D
Take caution through the curves, steadfast through the fray
Am                                C
Got some ground to cover, and the skies are clear today


Outro:
       G               D             C
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
       G               D             C
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
       G               D             C                 G Em
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin
