As recorded by Turnpike Troubadours (From the 2025 Album PRICE OF ADMISSION) [Intro] D A G [Verse 1]
      D               A              G                   D
Well, you come out of nowhere like a small-town force of nature

            A               G                A
A greater generation coming back to show its face

D               A                   G               D
Long before the world would ask you what you had to offer

                A             G            D     A
Some old busted banjo picking out "Amazing Grace"
[Chorus]
A                                G                 D  A
Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken

  Bm                     D          G                  D
A heart that's cut wide open like a child that's gone astray

   A                                 G                D
Forgive me of my nonsense, I'm still out here chasing shadows

    Bm              D                     A         G     D  A  G
And searching for a light I never thought would go away
[Verse 2]
      D              A                  G               D      A
Well, I don't know a world without you, but I'm safe in saying

    D                A            G               A
Thе contrast and the color woulda lost their clarity

     D         A            G            D
That old piano going out of tune with no playing

                    A                   G   D
In thе bedroom of a farm house built in 1923
[Chorus]
A                                G                 D  A
Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken

  Bm                     D          G                  D
A heart that's cut wide open like a child that's gone astray

   A                                 G                D
Forgive me of my nonsense, I'm still out here chasing shadows

    Bm              D                     A         G
And searching for a light I never thought would go away
[Interlude] G D A G D A G D A Bm D A G [Verse 3]
      D                   A           G                D
Well, I could spend a lifetime making something out of sorrow

                       A              G             A
But I will not trade tomorrow for the pain I feel today

     D              A            G                 D
So I pull my collar closer and I let the wind blow by me

                          A             G                      D
I've got no tears left to cry about the world that's gone away
[Chorus]
A                                G                 D
Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken

            Bm                    D           G                  D
Feel like a heart that's cut wide open like a child that's gone astray

   A                                 G                D
Forgive me of my nonsense, I'm still out here chasing shadows

    Bm              D                     A         G
And searching for a light I never thought would go away
[Outro] D A G D A G D
