[Intro] C G F C Em F G [Verse 1]
C                     Am                           Em                  
Dyed in the wool, you've been cornered by a natural desire

           F                                             C
You wanna hop along the with the giddy throng through life

C                       Em              F                      G
But how will you learn to steer when you're grinding all your gears?

C                        Am           Em                  F            
Youve been talking for hours you say time will wash every tower to the sea

C                    Em    F             G
And now you got this worry in your heart

             F             C                    G
When I guess its only life its only natural

            F               C                        G
We all spent a little while going down the rabbit hole

                 Am                       C    
The things they taught you lining up to haunt you

                       G            F    Em
They got your back against the wall

        F                                         G
I called on you on the telephone wont you pick up the receiver
[Chorus]
C                        G        F           C         
Ive been down the very road  youre walking now

C                    Em              F
It doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome

C                     G          F          Em                      G
Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around
[Instrumental] C Am Em G [Verse 2]
C                   Am      Em                      F
You use to be such a lion before you got into all this crying on my lap

C                       Em       F        G
Back when you thought I never get this far

F                        C                   G  
But did you think really I'd shut an open door

 F             C                   G
But futures calling and Imma answer her

     Am                                    C
The wheels in motion but I never drink your potion 

                      G         F    Em
And I know it breaks your heart

F                                             G
Open up your parachute something got to stop the free fall
[Chorus]
C                              G               F        C         
Ive been down the  very road  youre walking now

C                    Em              F
It doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome

C                     G          F          Em                      G   F C  
Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around
End on G
