Andrew Peterson – Many Roads (Guitar)

 D                             A            G
If you'll step inside this great glass elevator,

    D               A              G
It'll take us up above the city lights,

    D                        A           D/F
To where the planet curves away to the equator,

         G                 A/C#
I wanna show you something fine,

                D                                       G
You can see the roads that we all traveled just to get here,

      D                  A          G
A million minuscule decisions in a line,

      D                     A             D/F
Why they brought us to this moment isn't clear,

  G          A/C#
But that's alright, we've got all night,

                     G                          D
Could it be that the many roads you took to get here,

              A                             Bsus               (G)
Were just for me to tell this story, and for you to hear this song

               G                    D                              A
And your many hopes, and your many fears, were meant to bring you here,

      G
All along,

D                                      A          G
So if you trust me with your time I'll spend it wisely,

       D                      A            G
And I will sing to you with all I have to give,

        D                      A                 D/F   G
Cause if you traveled all this way, then I will do my best to play,

           A/C#
My biggest hits, that don't exist,

D                                    A         G
And if you lend to me your ear I'll sing them pretty,

D                               A       G
And I will never ever sing them out of tune,

       D                   A            D/F             G
And I will not forget the words to any chorus bridge or verse,

          A/C#
I promise you, oh ohh

           Bsus                      A
And we got Benjamin to play that old piano,

          D                  D/F    GaddB
If we're lucky it's a little out of tune,

           Bsus           A
And we got Andy on the guitar,

          D               A/C#     G
Cause I promised him some Texas barbecue, oh ohh

D                        A              G
How I love to watch you listen to the music,

D                       A             G
Cause you sing to me a music of your own,

   D                     A
As I cast out all these lines,

    D         D/F      G         A/C#
So afraid that I will find I am alone, all alone,

                      G                       D
Could it be that the many roads I took to get here,

              A
Were just for me to hear that story,

       Bsus              (G)
And for you to sing that song

             G                  D                             A         G
And my many hopes, and my many fears, were meant to bring me here, all along

D                         A/C#       G
We were meant to be right here, all along.
