Tabbed by C. Van Etten 10/06/06
That's right a true two chord song !!
Note: The actual chords are F and Bb
I tabbed it with the capo for ease
For accuracy Play the F barre chord with your
thumb on the bass string and relase to the open G String to get Fsus2
Otherwise play with a capo and you'll be fine.
Intro
E A 2X
E
There's a road that goes to an old friends house where we
grew up, where we hung out.
A E A
I've been on this highway for three hours now. And I'm tryin to find it.
E
I remember an old pin ball arcade, where I lived out all my yesterdays
A E A
I'm sure it's torn down and gone away, but I'm tryin to find it.
E
And there's a feeling that I left behind. I felt it once running down my spine.
A E A
The fear of God, the joy of life. I'm tryin to find it.
E
And there's a spot on Earth a man can go to find himself and free his soul
A
A place somewhere between hell and heaven where no one hurts and all's forgiven
E
A door that leads to light and grace but the keys are in the darkest place
A E
Though I feel like I've been there before, but I don't know what I'm looking for
A E A
but I'm tryin to find it. I'm tryin to find it.
E
There's an attic in my old man's house full of history I need to know about.
A E
Of a life I've lived too long without. And I'm tryin to find it,
A
I'm tryin to find it. I'm tryin to find it.
E
And I know you're up there in your room and I want so bad to heal the wound
A
but I've hurt you in so many ways and I don't know why you choose to stay
E
and I know it's me that let it die cause there's a fire that's gone when I look in your eyes
A E
an innocence that you once had, a piece of you I miss so bad.
A E A
But I'm tryin to find it. I'm tryin to find it. I'm tryin to find it
E A
E
It's three a.m. And I'm on my knees. Tears in her eyes she looks down on me.
A E A
As I search to find the book she loves to hear her daddy read. And I'm tryin to find it.
E
There's a road that goes to an old friends house. Where we grew up, we hung out.
A
I've been on this highway for three hours now.
