Verse:

       C
As I'm thrown into an empty room or should I say a box
   Am
I try to turn around to leave but the door is slammed and locks
     G
so I sit here and I think about all the evil things I've done
  F                                 G
I lost where I was going cause I forgot where I came from


Chorus:

  C
I surrender

Put my weapons down
        Am
I can't remember

what I'm doing in this town
     G
It's time for me to pack my bags

I will always be alone
    F                             G
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road
      C
I'm a drifter
      Am            G F G
I'm a drifter


Verse:

    C
Now every time I look straight into my father's eyes
  Am
I see how hurt and broken down he is from all the times
   G
He had to watch the son he raised follow in his steps
    F                                G
The only option that he ever had was to hope for the best

Chorus:

  C
I surrender 

Put my weapons down
        Am
I can't remember

what I'm doing in this town
     G
It's time for me to pack my bags

I will always be alone
    F                             G
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road


Bridge:
 
   Am
My faith is weak my soul is bound

this lonely road I travel down
  C
I scrape my feet this jagged ground

the cuts run deep into me now
  F
Mother oh why aren't you here

So young I was, you disappeared
  G
I know the truth is ugly did you truly ever love me?

Am C F Em F G


Outro:

  C
I surrender

Curse my mothers soul
        Am
I still miss her

No matter where I go
     G
It's time for me to pack my bags

I will always be alone
    F                          G
The only thing I've ever known is a broken home
