[Intro] C [Verse]
Em                F
    Never once an ocean

C         Em             F
    Could hold me on its shore

Em                             F
    Standing calm with all its motion

C                Em              F
    With all the movement of its flow

Em                               F
    Cause I know way back in the distance

C           Em            F
    All the safer sorrows burned

Em                             F
    The ones with no intent to drown you

C                  Em             F
    The ones where nothing's to be learned
[Chorus]
Em                            F
    So now I'm headin' down a back road

C                Em            F
    The one that no one really takes

Em                         F
    'cept for me now to be nowhere

C             F             C
    When that early morning breaks
[Interlude] C [Verse]
Em                           F
    Now I'm dancin' with the mad girls

C                Em             F
    The ones who sin out by the town

Em                              F
    Who were brought up by bell towers

C              Em              F
    And always nurtured by its sound

Em                                 F
    I heard them sing out in their language

C           Em               F
    Already when I was still free

Em                               F
    Oh God I thought I heard the angels

C                Em                F
    What kind of fool'd you put in me?
[Interlude] C [Chorus]
Em                                 F
    'Cause now I'm tied by up by a back road, y'know

C                Em            F
    The one that no one really takes

Em                         F
    'cept for me now to be nowhere

C             F             C
    When that early morning breaks
[Instrumental] C Em F C Em C F C [Verse]
Em                                    F
    They sure won't let me leave this summer

          C
    No no no

                   Em             F
    And they won't let me go this fall

Em                             F
    And with the likelihood of winter

C                    Em             F
    They'll take the heat out of us all

Em                            F
    Just to deliver all their daughters

C                 Em              F
    To track down sons of serpent roads

Em                           F
    And let me look out over slaughter

C             Em                 F
    To have a night out with the boys
[Interlude] C [Chorus]
Em                             F
    And now I'm takin' off the back road, y'know

C                Em            F
    The one that no one really takes

Em                         F
    'cept for me now to be nowhere

C             F             C
    When that early morning breaks
