G G G G
๐ธ Verse 1:
Gadd11
Dirty broken dishes
G
Cigarette burns on the floor
Gadd11
She held a look of disbelief
G
And wandered through the door
Am C
To have a seat and meet the parents of the child
G
That was heading the wrong way
Am G
And it's probably seven years
C G
Since she turned around and hit the road that day
๐ธ Verse 2:
G
Paper tearing off the walls
A rotten, moldy sink
Well, he wandered to the cupboard
Just to fix himself a drink
Am
Like there wasnโt something wrong
C G
Like he couldn't see the sorrow in the soul
Am G
And it must be seven years
C G
Since he tipped his hat and told 'em all "So long"
๐ธ Instrumental:
G G G G
Am C G G
๐ธ Verse 3:
G
Well, she was so distracted
By the color of the room
She never thought that she would see
Her little flower bloom
Am
And take the cards that he was dealt
C G
Into the house the big, bad wolf could not blow down
Am G
And it must be seven years now
C G
Since they turned their lives around
๐ธ Chorus:
Em
She said, "Stay on track
C
Donโt let me see you lookin' back
Am F C
Never mind what's left behind and don't look back
NC G
Don't look back"
๐ธ Verse 4:
G
Well the house shrunk in the rearview
They left it far behind
It faded out of sight
Back to the shadows of her mind
Am
Like the shards of shattered mirrors
C G
Broken pieces scattered o'er the burial ground
Am G
And it must be seven years now
C G
Since they got out of that town
๐ธ Chorus:
Em
She said, "Stay on track
C
Donโt let me see you lookin' back
Am F C
Never mind what's left behind and don't look back
N.C. G
Don't look back"
