G Em C D

            G
There was a time I could not cry
             Em
But that has left me now
      C
For 7 years I could not dream
               D
But now that's done

           G
There were songs I could not sing
         Em
Words I could not know
                 C
Oh but now they found me on a bridge
                  D                        C     G
And they broke my heart

            G
There was a way I used to talk
         Em
I cannot recognize
           C
And now my language cannot give me 
                D
         what I need
      G               Bm          C               Em
And I tore it from my bible and I kept it from my god
   G                            Em                        G
I would not lose to junkies on the street

             Em
It hit me so hard
            C
I could not see
              D
That shot was only meant for me
            Em             C
And all the faces that I knew
          D
They were lying

              Em                G
When the hard road went back to sand
             Bm                C
And with the wheel still in my hand
          G               C (Em)
I built a highway out of dust
          D
And I was flying

            G
There was a way I used to talk
         Em
I cannot recognize
           C
And now my language cannot give me 
                D
         what I need
      G               Bm          C               Em
And I tore it from my bible and I kept it from my god
   G                               Em                         G
I would not lose to junkies on the street

             Em
It hit me so hard
            C
I could not see
              D
That shot was only meant for me
            Em             C
And all the faces that I knew
          D
They were lying

              Em                G
When the hard road went back to sand
             Bm                C
And with the wheel still in my hand
          G               Em (C if you prefer)
I built a highway out of dust
          D            C        G
And I was flying
