Feb. 12, 2004 [Intro] | C | Em/B | Am | G | | C | C | F | G | [Verse 1]
C
Lately the ties that bind

F           G               C    F G
Feel like a noose around my neck

C
Chokin' the life from me

    F          G                  C      F G
And leavin' my dreams gaspin' for breath

F
I've lost sight and so have you

       G
Of the man you were attracted to

C              Dm     C/E      F
We lost me somewhere along the line

    Dm
And I can't live like this no more

G
Knowing just outside that door

Dm                  G                 C
There's a road that leaves this all behind
[Chorus]
          F                            G
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'

    C                       Dm    C/E     F
And there's nothin' in this world you can say

   Dm                             Gsus4
So don't insist on standin' in my way

        G           C
I can't find me if I stay
[Solo] |(C) | Em/B | Am | G | | C | C | F | G | [Verse 2]
C                             F
If you really love me, if you care at all

       G            C    F G
You'll gladly step aside

     C                                    F
I've given you the best of me and now the rest of me

   G            C    F G
Is gonna take a ride

          F                             G
There's a gravel road that turns into a two-lane blacktop highway

     C                 Dm        C/E     F
That stretches out for miles and miles and miles

        Dm                               G
And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin' out a white line

     Dm            G               C
To a man I haven't been in quite a while
[Chorus]
          F                            G
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'

            C               Dm    C/E     F
And there's nothin' in this world you can say

   Dm                             Gsus4
So don't insist on standin' in my way

        G           C     F
I can't find me if I stay
[Tag]
        G           C     F
I can't find me if I stay

        G           C     F
I can't find me if I stay

        G           C
I can't find me if I stay
