Well I used to walk along the opposite side of the road
and made others get out of my way
I used to think that I could sit and wait for the times
but I know I should meet them halfway
I'm halfway home and I'm on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
I plan to leave here after supper time
that's when traffic is light, all I need is a sign
and I'll be alright. I'll be fine
Well I used to think that i could just sleep and then I would dream
And everything it would just come to me
Until I woke one day without anything to eat
Lying on the opposite side of the street
I'm halfway home and I'm still out on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
Because it ain't my time not to stay or say
Well I can't say, but you can bet that i will play my heart out
I'll won't lay.
I used to think that I could just sit and wait for the times
But I know I gotta meet them somewhere out there halfway
I'm halfway home I tried running with the flow
I'm halfway there. Ain't it funny how everybody seems to care
I planned to get there around supper time their serving up bread and wine
All I needed was a sign and I guess I'llbe allright.
I'll be fine.
I'll be fine.
I'll be alright.
I'll be alright.
It seems to be a running theme about being fine and allright but I don't mind.
Because I'll be fine and alright
I'll be fine
I'll be fine

version 4
Tuning: EADGBe
Capo: 2nd Fret
Note: It sounds like Jason fingerpicks this song to get a much softer sound,
but if you're not comfortoable with fingerpicking, using a pick sounds fine too.

version 6
A guitar in standard tuning
A capo placed on the 2nd fret
Strumming pattern: I use D-D-U-U-D
If you listen to the song he quite often builds up from a Em to a G chord.
So if you want to add that part, well he does is the following on your lowest E-string.
E:|0-2-3 and then play the G-chord.
Feel free to correct me, send me a pm or leave a msg in the comments section and
I'll try to fix the wrong part(s). I know the chordsplacements aren't 100%
accurate, but I've done it by ear from the way I remember the song, so bare with me. ;)
Oh, and FYI, I got the lyrics from a random site, and from what I've checked, he
uses different lyrics on almost every recording I've heard. Not much I can do am I afraid : )
