G
Well here I am pulled over now

     D
Just crying on the shoulder down

    C                                  G
The road that I’ve been driving on for days

     C      C/B      
So I aim my moral compass

Am
But it’s spinning like a wheel and

C                  D             G
You could take that many different ways
[Verse 2]
G        D
I’ve had days as black as nighttime

    C                  G
And nights that lasted years

     C                C/B         Am
I’ve spent a thousand hours on my knees

      D
Broke down and started praying

          G                 C
But I was pleading with the wind

        G            D                 G
Just to never feel a difference in the breeze
[Chorus]
D                         G       C
They say heaven knows the road is slow

     D                  Em
Lord how the hell would heaven know?

     C                   C/B        Am
Just where am I supposed to go from here?

Am       C          D                 G
How much longеr now before I’m in the clеar?
[Instrumental] D C G C C/B Am C/D D G D C G C C/B Am D G C C D G [Verse 3]
G
Every mile I turn over

        D
Flashes by a little slower

      C                              G
And I guess I better find a place to stay

               C                C/B
‘Cause there’s lightning in the distance

       Am
As the thunderheads roll by

        C                D         G
And the morning seems to hurry far away
[Verse 4]
G        D
When the fog lifts off the valley

          C                   G
Where the half moon hides her halo

C              C/B               Am
'neath the veil of silver linen haze

      D
Maybe then I’ll journey onward

         G              C
With the darkness in my eyes while I’m

G             D               G
Holding on to hopes of brighter days
[Chorus]
D                         G       C
They say heaven knows the road is slow

     D                  Em
Lord how the hell would heaven know?

     C          C/B                 Am
Just where am I supposed to go from here?

Am       C          D                 G
How much longеr now before I’m in the clеar?

D                         G       C
They say heaven knows the road is slow

     D                  Em
Lord how the hell would heaven know?

     C          C/B                 Am
Just where am I supposed to go from here?

Am       C          D                 G
How much longеr now before I’m in the clеar?
[Outro] G D Am C G
