Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) 🎸 Intro: F C G Am G F F C G Am G F 🎸 Verse 1: C G The road does funny things inside a man Am G F To hurt in ways I just don't understand C G My heart can see the road that leads back home F Am G I'm afraid that I can't get there anymore 🎸 Verse 2: F C G I wish that you could see into my eyes Am G F To see what makes me race and makes me cry C G I have faith inside this broken tethered heart F Am G Whatever role I play is the right part
🎸 Chorus: F G Am The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast F G Am A love you never meant to let slip past F G C G Am Minneapolis could take me home F G C But home ain't where I'm headed for 🎸 Verse 3: F C G My sorrow makes a face the way I hurt Am G F A longing-for betrayed by what I'm sure C G Are sounds and words that push and pull you still F Am G But hardened by the thought of what you will 🎸 Verse 4: F C G Soon I'll find the places that I know Am G F Faced by what should find me on this road C G My heart still sees the path that leads back home F Am G But I think she's gone, I think I'm all alone 🎸 Chorus: F G Am The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast F G Am A love you never meant to let slip past F G C G Am Minneapolis could take me home F G C But home ain't where I'm headed for F G C Home ain't where I'm headed for
