Strum
D-DU-UDU
It  was way after midnight, before  you crossed my mind
 But I thought of you til the sun broke through and I watched  that road
unwind
Funny  how that road, was just like the trail  we made
 Every little twist and turn  and bump left me feeling  worn and frayed
How  many miles did we wander
How  many nights did we drive on through
Travelled  the road like rolling thunder
And  none of them lead to anywhere  that we wanted them  to
 But it wasn't always rough - there was some smooth travelling too
 And when the sun came up I was high on a mountain in the morning new
 You always told me if I opened my eyes, I would see forever
 Maybe I did, maybe that's how I knew that we were never destined to be together
 Sometimes hurting someone is the kindest thing that a person can do
 What more can I say, I'm sorry if I caused your heart to bleed
 You were always so kind and gentle and warm and I tried so hard to be that way in return
 But you never asked me what I wanted, you just told me what you thought I need
