    C               D       G 
Two highways lay before me, which one will I choose 
    C                  D                      G 
Down one lane I'd find happiness and down the other I would lose 
      C              D              Am   G      Em 
There is no one that I can trust, I must decide alone 
                                   C         Cadd9   G 
My decision is an awful one, which road will take me home 



       C               D                      G 
In the mornin' would I wake to find, down the wrong road I have gone 
C               D             G 
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long 
C              D              Em     G       Am 
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice 
                                                C     Cadd9    G 
And though sadness cries my inner soul, goodbye lover moans my voice 

C                 D          G 
Perils, there are many, as I set out on my way 
     C                D               G 
If I lose your love I know that I can call it back someday 
C               D                   Em  G        Am  
Rambler, lonely rambler, just 'cause anyplace is home 
                  C            Cadd9  G 
Nashville, lights how you have always shined 

C                D               G 
Wishing now that you had found a word or two to say 
        C                D               G 
But the mornin' came and we both knew my eyes gave it away 
     C                      D                      Em   G         Am 
As I kissed your cheeks and said goodbye I thought only time will tell 
                         C       Cadd9 G       
And you can't draw water from an empty well 

       C               D                      G 
In the mornin' would I wake to find, down the wrong road I have gone 
C               D             G 
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long 
C              D              Em     G       Am 
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice 
                                                C     Cadd9    G 
And though sadness cries my inner soul, goodbye lover moans my voice (x2)
