So don't talk, don't say nothin 
     F            C          G                    C 
I'll just grab my things and pretend like there's nothin 
  Am          G          F              C 
Between us no more, as I walked out the door 
    F         C             G            C 
She closed it behind me and cried on the floor 
      Am       G          F            C 
And I couldn't talk, no I couldn't say nothin 
     F             C             G               C 
I'll just close my eyes and head blindly towards somethin 
      Am        G            F            C 
Cause where I'm goin, well I don't really know 
    F       C         G           C 
The road is callin so I've got to go 
         F       C         G           C 
Yes, the road is callin so I've got to go
