Intro
Verse 1
I have not been home since you left long ago...
D D/F# riff G/B G/F A
Thumbing my way back to heaven...
Counting steps... walking backwards on the road
D D/F# riff G/B G/F A
Counting my way back to heaven...
Chorus 1
C* G*
I can't be free with what's locked inside of me
If there was a key, you took it in your hands
C* G*
There's no wrong or right... but I'm sure there's good and bad
The questions linger overhead
Verse 2
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
D D/F# riff G/B G/F A
Thumbing my way back to heaven...
Wish that I could hold you... wish that I had...
D D/F# riff G/B G/F A
Thinking 'bout heaven...
Bridge
C**
I let go of a rope... thinking that's what held me back...
And in time I've realized... it's now wrapped around my neck
C**
I can't see what's next... from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
Chorus 2
C* G*
All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
Choosing the shiny ones instead
C* G*
I turned my back... now there's no turning back...
Mmmmmmmmmmm
Verse 3
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
D D/F# riff G/B G/F A
I smile, but who am I kidding?
I'm just walkin' the miles... every once in a while, get a ride
D D/F# riff G/B G/F A
Thumbing my way back to heaven... x3
