Key: A Intro: A E F#m D A E D E Verse 1: A E Without really knowing I took all the wrong routes F#m D The misguided monster in the Doc Marten boots A E In the wrong directions against all of the grains D E Got off at all the wrong stops, back on to all the wrong trains A E When holy hell just broke loose, to cut it out shut it down F#m D There was the substance abuse running rampant through town A E And when the trouble I had at the back door of the Channel D E A steady headache and a handful it was .
Chorus: A E F#m D Too hard to handle Too hard to handle A E D E Time I took a good look at the route that I took Verse 2: A E Without a drop of the sense that God had gave to a stone F#m D But in my own self defense well I was not all alone A E I had the partners and colleagues and the cohorts in crime D E Heaven sent to me hell bent to be one hell of a time A E There was a swift sudden shift and way to many went south F#m D The deadly God given gift to junkies I kept my mouth shut A E While I made up my mind I had some choices to make D E Should I leave Hell far behind me just . Chorus: A E F#m D For Heaven's sake For Heaven's sake A E D E I just took a good look at the route that I took Bridge: F#m D F#m E I took them all can you recall F#m D E the concert hall down at the Bradford Ballroom E I was tripping pretty hard I had dropped what I had copped down on the Boulevard Instrumental: A E F#m D A E D E Verse 3: A Without suggesting to you the routes I took were never wrong D I took a look and still I took and somehow I stayed strong A E And I just stayed on the course with very few deviations F#m E One of two situations some other odd altercations A E And when my days were too dark well I had something to sell F#m D I am the carnival barker with some stories to tell A E There'll be apologies made at every fork and each bend D E And I'm so glad that I stayed and I will . Chorus: A E F#m D Stay till the end Stay till the end A E D E Glad I took a good look at the route that I took A E F#m D Stay till the end Stay till the end A E D E Glad I took a good look at the route that I took
