Oh, how I wish that was enough to Have made me want to stay. See, I'm as true as I try to be, And I must say my girl, I tried the best to give to you All of the truest in the world. But, when I left your house that morning in that ragged Thunderbird, I tried so hard to fight the voices From the devils that I heard. See, there's a highway to the right of us I took a year ago, And since a year ago can't drive past Without turning down that road. [Chorus 1] (Strum E chord) And I knew it, I never should have turned the wheel. And I knew it, the voices calling me weren't real. I knew it, listen to the song they sing. I knew I was wrong, and I knew I was wrong. |------------| G|-4-4h6-----------6-4--6-4----4--6-4--------| |------------6---------6-/4--| |------------| |------------| |------------| |------------| D|-4-2--4-4/6------------6-2--4-/6--2-4--1-2-| |------------| |------------| [Verse 2] So, give me a try at describing Just how difficult it is, When you kind of love two girls To figure out which one you miss. Stumble away from your stairway With your perfume on my clothes. Well, I kind of loved two girls But, now I kind of lost them both. [Chorus 2] And I knew it, I never should have turned the wheel. And I knew it, the voices calling me weren't real. I knew it, listen to the song they sing. I knew I was wrong, and I knew I was wrong. (done a capella in the original) And if I could gather up the damage That I've rendered in my life, Place it on a scale and weigh against The damage done that night. Then it'd be safe to say The weight of all I did and didn't do Would surly float against the lightest wrong I ever did to you.
