[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
