The sunlight slipped right through the blinds I'd carefully pulled down

Am
Dragged me from my dreaming and I woke up on the ground

The phone was ringing by my head just like I knew it would

G7                           C
News from Colorado's never good
[Verse 2]
   C
My brother stole another car, they're holding him downtown

Am
Sister's telling everyone he's in the army now

F                              Dm
Mama only says the things that Daddy says she should

How'd I get so far away? Seems like only yesterday

  C                                 F
I took my first few steps out on my own

                             Dm
Lookin' in the mirror now, I see a thousand miles and somehow

G7
Colorado doesn't feel like home
[Verse 3]
C
Ain't no way to go back even if I wanted to

     Am
It'd only be a waste of time and there's nothing I can do

F                                  Dm
Breaks my heart but somehow I have always understood
