Good lord 

What have I done

I spent my whole life running 
          Em 
From everyone I was raised 

In many towns 
D 
I never stayed long enough for them

To want me around 
Em 
I'm not brave 

I'm just afraid 
D 
I let my worries wear me out

Right to my grave

Em 
These days 

I cannot sleep 
D 
Miles away, found someone I know 
          Em 
I want to keep, here I am 

Chasing the sun 
D 
Do you think he will wait 
          Em 
Until I'm done 
 
             Em 
Ain't got no home 
          Bm 
Up on the road 
             D 
Where will I go 
            Em 
When I grow old

And does my soul 
             Bm 
Have what it takes 
       D 
To be alone 
             Em 
When my body breaks
