This Road I Know

[Intro]
[Fadd9] [C] [G] [Am] [Fmaj7] [C] [G]

[Fadd9]This a poem I wrote [C]called "This Road I Know"
[G]There's this flash I get often, a [Am]fever dream or a vision of sorts
[Fmaj7]Most times [C]late at night
[G]And I haven't found out [Fadd9]why, but I know exactly why
[C]I'm on this road, and I hear [G]gravel underneath me, and I feel it too
[Am]And I don't know where I am, [Fmaj7]but I know exactly where I am
[C]It's dark, [G]it's really dark
[Fadd9]And the car is warm, but somehow [C]I can feel how cold the night is
[G]I don't know where the road leads, [Am]but I know exactly where it ends
[Fmaj7]You see, I keep drivin', and all I [C]see for the longest while is my headlights
[G]For an [Fadd9]eternity it seems
[C]And everythin' is desolate and [G]empty and nothin' and hopeless
[Am]I'm lost, but I [Fmaj7]know where I'm going
[C]I'm safe, I'm [G]warm, I'm drivin'
[Fadd9]And I see [C]this small light
[G]A dim one growin' brighter [Am]and bigger and closer and stronger
[Fmaj7]And the closer I [C]get, the more I see
[G]I make out a house with light [Fadd9]strewn across it, a porch, and cars
[C]Some frosted windshields that [G]hadn't been touched for hours
[Am]I hear a [Fmaj7]song, and it's faint
[C]And I can't make out the [G]name, but I know every word
[Fadd9]I feel [C]my feet first
[G]And it's cold, and they're crunchin', [Am]and it's the sound of driveways
[Fmaj7]And the wind takes [C]my breath with it
[G]And then I walk up to this door, and [Fadd9]I knock even though I feel I don't have to
[C]And I don't know where I am, [G]but I know exactly where I am
[Am]And this crack of light widens on [Fmaj7]this porch underneath me as this door opens
[C]And this brown-haired girl [G]with the brightest smile
[Fadd9]I don't know who she is, [C]but I know her so well
[G]And behind her, the [Am]warmest home I'd ever seen
[Fmaj7]It's orange and comfortable, [C]there's fire, and it's bulb-lit
[G]She says
[Fadd9]"Where have you been? I've [C]been waitin' on you all night
[G]We've missed you"
[Am]She says to the kindest [Fmaj7]smirk I'd seen in so long
[C]Then she tapers off [G]the sentence with the
[Fadd9]With the peaceful sound [C]that a lady makes
[G]She grabs me on the forearms, [Am]pulls softly into the dining room
[Fmaj7]And there's people, and they're [C]happy, and they're content for one
[G]I don't know who they are, [Fadd9]but I know exactly who they are
[C]And we're all standin', and I'm laughin' [G]at a joke I'll never hear again
[Am]I don't know where I am, [Fmaj7]but I know exactly where I am
[C]And then she tucks her head [G]between my collar as a friend
[Fadd9]Between my collar and my jaw, [C]and there's no weight at all
[G]And I don't know where I [Am]am, but there's no weight at all
[Fmaj7]It's laughter and grins [C]and no tomorrow to win
[G]And I don't know where I am, [Fadd9]but I know exactly where I am

[F]I don't know where I am, [C]but I know exactly where I am
