🎸 Verse 1:
  C                           Em
I don’t know where I’m going, but this road I’m on,
   Am        G                 C    C
Is taking me places I’ve never been,
  C                            Em
I don’t do well on my own, but when you’re here I swear I’m home,
    Am                         G            C    C
The love you gave is more than I could ever pay,
  C                        Em
I just moved out west, and God I’m scared to death,
       Am                     G            C    C
Of the things that people are aiming me to be,
    C                      Em
And how do I make sense of all this shit I’m in,
          Am                G                   C   C
It’s like everyone wants to help and no one can see.

🎸 Chorus:
F                        G
When I close my eyes and think about my dreams,
       C                G/B        Am
It’s a million eyes and one set of strings,
F                      G
And I’m convinced that you’re the only one that knows me,
     C                   G/B         Am
With you I’m already the man I wanna be,
F                          G
They don’t understand just how much your heart means,
   C                 G/B                  Am
It saved my life, it helped me forget the pain,
F*                       G7*
And don’t you worry, the love we have won’t leave,
    C*                       G/B*         C
You ain’t in my head, you’re in the way I breathe.

🎸 Verse 2:
C                      Em
One thing I miss most about the place I was grown,
   Am               G                C    C
Is no one saw me as more than just a kid,
             C
When this machine tries to buy me out,
  Em                       Em7
I scream out to the crowds,
      Am                      G             C    C
I’m a busted-ass boy that was built on honesty,
C
Mama always said to me,
   Em
My son, you’re a sun to see,
Am                   G                    C    C
Where would I be without you believing in me,
           C
I got some boys that would die for me,
      Em
And a girl that would never leave,
Am*               G*       C*    C
What else could a man ever need.


🎸 Chorus:
F                        G
When I close my eyes and think about my dreams,
       C                G/B        Am
It’s a million eyes and one set of strings,
F                      G
And I’m convinced that you’re the only one that knows me,
     C                   G/B         Am
With you I’m already the man I wanna be,
F                          G
They don’t understand just how much your heart means,
   C                 G/B                  Am
It saved my life, it helped me forget the pain,
F*                       G7*
And don’t you worry, the love we have won’t leave,
N.C.                                      Cadd9
You ain’t in my head, you’re in the way I breathe.
