[Intro]
D G D A D G D A D
[Verse 1]
D G
Well my daddy he stood at the foot of the stairs
D A
He was calling to me at the time
D G
And I knew even then, I could die for the thoughts
D A D
That I kept in the back of my mind
[Verse 2]
D
But I dared not to speak
G
How I felt for my dad
D A
Cause there were no words to define
D G
The ball of confusion, of feelings and junk
D A D
That I kept in the back of my mind
[Interlude]
D G D A D G D A D
[Verse 3]
D
So I took to the highway
G
And I kept to myself
D A
Just a lookin' and hopin' to find
D G
Some solutions, some answers, someway to exist
D A D
With this stuff in the back of my mind
[Verse 4]
D
So I took me a job
G
And I took me a wife
D A
And I took me a bottle of wine
D G
And it did not take long, 'til all I had left
D A D
Was this stuff in the back of my mind
[Chorus]
D D/F# G G/F# Em Em/G A A/G
Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train
F# F#/A# Bm G D A D
Flying blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind
[Interlude]
D G D A D G D A D
[Verse 5]
D
Well the end of the tunnel
G
Just never came up
D A
'til I came to the end of the line
D G
And I saw that the light I'd been hoping to see
D A D
Was just a spark in the back of my mind
[Verse 6]
D
And the cold wind that blew
G
Through the hole in my heart
D A
Made a fire for the very first time
D
From some branches of trust
G
And a kindling of faith
D A D
And that spark in the back of my mind
[Chorus]
D D/F# G G/F# Em Em/G A A/G
Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train
F# F#/A# Bm G D A D
Flyin' blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind
D D/F# G G/F# Em Em/G A A/G
Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train
F# F#/A# Bm G D A D
Flyin' blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind
G D A D
shot from the dark in the back of my mind
G D A D
shot from the dark in the back of my mind
[Outro]
D G D A D G D A D
