Intro

A Bm   D   A   Bm 


 
Bm                                D 
I've been running on empty for a while now 

Too proud to ask for help 
A                                     Bm 
Every town feels a little like a let down 

When you're fighting yourself 

Bm 
I've said things I didn't mean 
D 
Burned bridges I still see 
        A 
In the rearview 
       G 
Every night 

 Em                                G 
Mama said son, don't lose who you are 

Just 'cause life gets hard 
 

 
        Bm 
It's a long way back from the edge I'm on 
          D 
From the nights I drink just to feel gone 
     A 
But I'm still breathing, still holding on 
       G 
Still trying to be a better man 

     Bm 
And I've been lost yeah, I'll say that 
    D 
But I ain't too far to turn around yet 
        A 
It's a long way back 
         G         Bm 
But I'm taking it 
 

 
Bm 
And I've been carrying weight 
         D 
I don't show much 
                        A 
Smiling when I should break 
                            Bm 
Learned how to fake being okay 

Just to get through the day 

Bm 
I've watched good love slip away 
D 
Heard I can't do this in her voice 
A 
Still hear it 
                G 
When it's quiet 

Em 
Every scar got a lesson in it 
G 
 If you're willing to listen 
 

 
        Bm 
It's a long way back from the edge I'm on 
          D 
From the nights I drink just to feel gone 
     A 
But I'm still breathing, still holding on 
       G 
Still trying to be a better man 

     Bm 
And I've been lost yeah, I'll say that 
    D 
But I ain't too far to turn around yet 
        A 
It's a long way back 
         G 
But I'm taking it 

Bm 
Maybe I won't fix it all over night 
D                                  A 
Maybe I'll stumble, maybe I'll fi-ight 
                           G 
But giving up ain't in my blood 

And I ain't done 
 

 
        Bm 
It's a long way back but I see the road 
       D 
Every wrong turn 
                  A 
Finally sure what I don't wanna be anymore 
            G 
And that's something worth walking for 


Bm 
I've been down 

Yeah, I've cracked 
       D 
But I ain't too broken to come back 
        A 
It's a long way back 
         G 
But I'm taking it
