[Intro]
| D  | C  | Em  | Gm7  |

[Verse 1]
 D                                         
Just when I thought I'd weathered the storm
 C                                                 Em    
Rain starts to pour, those same old tears back on my face
      Gm7     
No escape, ooh
 D                                   
Ripped out the page, rewrote the play
C                                       Em       
I did away with heroes and villains and old scars
      Gm7     
From cold wars

[Pre-Chorus]
         Em             Gm7    
But the pain isn't done, no, no
          Bm          G
When the battle is won
                   Em               
So I'm running in circles, I've been
 Gm7              
Reaching dead ends
    C                      
I guess I'm not over it yet

[Chorus]
       D              C  
'Cause I'm losing my mind
              Em                        
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
              Gm7                     
Sometimes I flip so fast, I don't know
D                C   
I'm looking for signs
                  Em                          
For some kind of highway to letting it go, but
 Gm7                         
Forgivеness is a winding road

[Verse 2]
 D                                   
Dead on my feet, walking thesе street
    C                                           Em 
I swear that I've been here before, each way I turn
               Gm7 
Yeah, I never learn

[Pre-Chorus]
      Em              Gm7
I'm chasing blue skies
                    Bm             G
'Cause I only see clouds in my eyes
                   Em               
So I'm running in circles, I've been
 Gm7              
Reaching dead ends
    C                      
I guess I'm not over it yet

[Chorus]
       D              C  
'Cause I'm losing my mind
              Em                        
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
              Gm7                     
Sometimes I flip so fast, I don't know
D                C   
I'm looking for signs
                  Em                          
For some kind of highway to letting it go, but
 Gm7                      C  G/B D
Forgivеness is a winding road
       Bb   C   DA
Yeah, yeah,   hmm

[Bridge]
C          G/B             D     A/C#
I'm still looking for the highway
G         D/F#            Em     
Wondering if I went the wrong way
             Em 
But I ain't lost

[Chorus]
       D          C      
'Cause I, I'll be alright
              Em                        
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
                   Gm7                       
Yeah, I'm taking two steps back to go forward
D                C   
I'm looking for signs
                  Em                    Gm7
For some kind of highway to letting it go
                 Em                   Gm7
Yeah, I'm outta luck but I still got hope
                      Em                  Gm7
Yeah, are we nearly there yet? God only knows
        Gm7                      
But forgiveness is a winding road
