Intro:

Dm G C F x4
 
Dm     G       C          F
My life is extraordinary bare 
Dm              G                   C      F
   I fought the fear and chased the pain.
Dm     G         C           F
My life doesnt need to be explained 
Dm           G                C    F
   I chose to walk the line as one
Dm       G      C           F 
Sometimes as I live upon my island 
Dm           G              C     F
Cut off from emotion and its pain 
     Dm        G        C           F
Ohh, thats when I am tempted by the waters 
Dm                    G            C     F
The waters that I can take me far away 

Chorus:
               Dm      G                C   F
So Ill just keep on walking down this open road 
Dm       G                  C     F
Hoping someone somewhere needs me 
               Dm      G               C    F
So Ill just keep on walking down this open road 
Dm      G                  C    F                
Talking to the man who knows me 
          C    F           C   F
Yes he knows me, the man is me 

Dm     G          C               F
My life was once full of peoples faces 
Dm               G                   C   F
Brought to me by love which isnt strange 
   Dm     G           C            F
Oh my life had the goodness of blue waters 
 Dm             G             C      F
A days a day for all I used to say 
Dm       G       C               F
Sometimes I can sit and cry my heart out 
Dm               G           C   F
Drowning in my autocratic ways .
    Dm        G        C             F
Oh, thats when I am tempted by the waters 
Dm               G             C  F
Waters that can take me far away 
              Dm      G                C    F
So Ill just keep on walking down this open road 
Dm       G                  C     F
Hoping someone somewhere needs me 

               Dm      G               C     F
So Ill just keep on walking down this open road 
Dm      G                  C     F 
Talking to the man who knows me 
          C    F           C   F
Yes he knows me, the man is me.

My life is now full of peoples faces 
Dm                    G                C  F
Within the light of change I pulled away 
Dm     G             C            F
My life shows that no man is an island 
    Dm                     G             C  F
Ive exchanged the piece of life I cut away
