G                C              F        G  Am  G
Heaven I’ve been down this road before
             C                    F                G
I feel I recognize this place, although I can’t be sure
                  C                  F     G  Am  G
But don’t I owe myself a little more?
               C                 Am              G         F
Didn’t play my cards right then, will I play the same hand once again?


[Chorus]
C              G                 F      G  Am  G
Ever choose to walk the straight line?
                  C                     Am             G
Thinking it’s the wind that’s trying to push us to the side and
C             G           F      G  Am  G
Never stop to take a look behind
               C          Am            G                 F
Hoping that tomorrow will see us safely down the straight line.


[Verse 2]
G                  C                     F        G  Am  G
All but that seems good in that straight line
                     C              F                G
The road it’s moving easy but never changes with the miles
    G                C                F     G  Am  G
And with each step I seem to get more tired
                C                       Am               G             F
And someone up around the bend, yeah I heard ‘em say the road it never ends.


[Chorus]
C              G                 F      G  Am  G
Ever choose to walk the straight line?
                  C                     Am             G
Thinking it’s the wind that’s trying to push us to the side and
C             G           F      G  Am  G
Never stop to take a look behind
               C          Am            G                 F
Hoping that tomorrow will see us safely down the straight line.


[Verse 3]
G                C              F        G  Am  G
Heaven I’ve been down this road before
                  C               F                G
I always trust my neighbors and I always lock my door
                  C             F        G  Am  G
But don’t I owe myself a little more?
                     C             Am         G            F
Cause in the end the rising sun illuminates a life never begun.


[Chorus]
C                  G                 F      G  Am  G
What good is it to walk the straight line?
                  C                     Am             G
Thinking it’s the wind that’s trying to push us to the side and
C             G           F      G  Am  G
Never stop to take a look behind
               C          Am            G                 F
Hoping that tomorrow will see us safely down the straight line.
Am            G                 F    Am   G
See us safely down the straight line.
             F
The straight line
