🎸 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

🎸 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 wasn’t 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"


🎸 Instrumental:
 G  G  G  G
Am  C  G  G


🎸 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


🎸 Chorus:
           Em
She said, "Stay on track
 C
Don’t 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"


🎸 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


🎸 Chorus:
           Em
She said, "Stay on track
 C
Don’t 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"
