  			E        B                  E 
 This old boy lived down the road from me 
 A                       E  Esus E 
 Used to drive a beat up Dodge 
 E         B  E 
 He showed up drunk as hell one night 
 A            B 
 Parked in my garage 
 E        B 
 I had to ask him 
 E 
 How'd  you get so lost 
 A                     F# 
 Man how do you get so low 
         A         B                 E              A      
 He said I've been running around in circles for so long 
          B                  E 
 I didn't know where else to go  
 E            B                E  
 See his wife she left him and took the kids 
 A                    E  Esus E 
 And he never was the same 
 E                 B   E 
 I guess they were all that he'd been  living for 
 A                         B 
 And he shouldered all the blame 
 E         B        E 
 He always wondered what made her give up 
 A                          F# 
 And why was he the last to know 
 A          B                 E              A  
 She'd been running around in circles for so long 
            B                  E 
 She didn't know where else to go 
 A          B           E 
 Guess we all lose our way sometimes 
 A   B                    E 
 Get stuck  out on that road 
 A           B                 E       
 When there's no where left to turn we just stop 
 A                        B 
 The ones we love pay the toll 
 E        B                  E 
 This old boy lived down the road from me 
 A                        E Esus  E 
 Today we laid him in the ground 
 E              B                   E 
 Drove that old dodge right off the river bridge 
 A                    B 
 Without even slowing down 
 E        B          E 
 Read the letter he  left for his old man 
 A                    F# 
 Said God I loved her so 
         A         B                 E              A      
 He said I've been running around in circles for so long 
          B                  E 
 I didn't know where else to go
