||CHORDS||
[D]Side of the road[Em], I stopped and
[G]Picked up the pieces of [A7]your car
[D]You were just stan[Em]ding, speechless
[G]Knowing you'd never tra[A7]vel far
[G]That's what you [A7]do when someone's [D]given up on [G/B]you
[G]And that's when I [A7]knew that I was [D]giving up and giving in
[G]That's when I [A7]knew where I was
[G]That's when I [A7]knew that I was [D]home
[D]Stuck in the [Em]middle of the [G]road
For better or worse, we [A7]compromise
[D]You may have [Em]won my hand, dear
[G]But it was the consol[A7]ation prize
[G]That's when I [A7]knew that I was [D]running out on [G/B]you
[G]That's what you [A7]do when time is [D]running out and running down
[G]That's when I [A7]knew where I was
[G]That's when I [A7]knew that I was [D]home
[C#m]Where does the [A]heart reside
[G#]If not where I lay my [C#m]head?[A] [G#]
[C#m]I could run but I'[A]m petrified
[G#]And choose this ins[C#m]tead
[G#]Again and ag[F#]ain[A]
||SOLO||
You can play this with a pick or fingerstyle if you choose. Both methods sound excellent.

[D]End of the [Em]road I'm running
[G]And look back to survey wh[A7]ere I'd been
[D]Someday I'll [Em]write and ask you
[G]If you could imagine [A7]what I'd seen
[G]How could you th[A7]ink that I could [D]turn my back on [G/B]you?
[G]How did you [A7]think this would be [D]turning out? And turning 'round
[G]What could I [A7]do but call you?
[G]What could I [A7]do to call this [D]home?
[G]That's when I [A7]knew where I was
[G]That's when I [A7]knew that I was [D]home
