Verse 1

D D/F# G/B G/F A

I have not been home since you left long ago...

D D/F# riff G/B G/F A

Thumbing my way back to heaven...

D D/F# G/B G/F A

Counting steps... walking backwards on the road

D D/F# riff G/B G/F A

Counting my way back to heaven...

Chorus 1

C* G* G C

I can't be free with what's locked inside of me

C/G Am G G

If there was a key, you took it in your hands

C* G* G C

There's no wrong or right... but I'm sure there's good and bad

C/G Am G G

The questions linger overhead

Verse 2

D D/F# G/B G/F A

No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead

D D/F# riff G/B G/F A

Thumbing my way back to heaven...

D D/F# G/B G/F A

Wish that I could hold you... wish that I had...

D D/F# riff G/B G/F A

Thinking 'bout heaven...

Bridge

C** C C

I let go of a rope... thinking that's what held me back...

Eb F

And in time I've realized... it's now wrapped around my neck

C** C C

I can't see what's next... from this lonely overpass

Eb F

Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past

Chorus 2

C* G* G C

All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives

C/G Am G G

Choosing the shiny ones instead

C* G* G C

I turned my back... now there's no turning back...

C/G Am G G

Mmmmmmmmmmm

Verse 3

D D/F# G/B G/F A

No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead

D D/F# riff G/B G/F A

I smile, but who am I kidding?

D D/F# G/B G/F A

I'm just walkin' the miles... every once in a while, get a ride

D D/F# riff G/B G/F A

Thumbing my way back to heaven... x3
