Chords

[Intro] F C G Am G F F C G Am G F [Verse 1]
                       C             G
The road does funny things inside a man

   Am                  G           F
To hurt in ways I just don't understand

                      C                   G
My heart can see the road that leads back home

                         F           Am    G
I'm afraid that I can't get there anymore
[Verse 2]
   F                   C        G
I wish that you could see into my eyes

   Am                 G                 F
To see what makes me race and makes me cry

                         C                   G
I have faith inside this broken tethered heart

                F           Am          G
Whatever role I play is the right part
[Chorus]
F                   G                   Am
The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast

  F               G                 Am
A love you never meant to let slip past

  F      G                C G Am
Minneapolis could take me home

    F                    G      C
But home ain't where I'm headed for
[Verse 3]
    F              C              G
My sorrow makes a face the way I hurt

  Am              G                F
A longing-for betrayed by what I'm sure

                          C              G
Are sounds and words that push and pull you still

                     F                  Am   G
But hardened by the thought of what you will
[Verse 4]
F                   C            G
Soon I'll find the places that I know

Am                    G                F
Faced by what should find me on this road

                         C                    G
My heart still sees the path that leads back home

                            F            Am   G
But I think she's gone, I think I'm all alone
[Chorus]
F                   G                   Am
The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast

  F               G                 Am
A love you never meant to let slip past

  F      G                C G Am
Minneapolis could take me home

    F                    G       C
But home ain't where I'm headed for

F                    G       C
Home ain't where I'm headed for
