Where I Thought I Met The Angels

Capo: 1st fret [Intro]      [Verse]                  Never once an ocean     Could hold me on its shore     Standing calm with all its motion     With all the movement of its flow     Cause I know way back in the distance     All the safer sorrows burned     The ones with no intent to drown you     The ones where nothing’s to be learned [Chorus]     So now I’m headin’ down a back road     The one that no one really takes     ’cept for me now to be nowhere     When that early morning breaks [Verse]     Now I’m dancin’ with the mad girls     The ones who sin out by the town     Who were brought up by bell towers     And always nurtured by its sound     I heard them sing out in their language     Already when I was still free     Oh God I thought I heard the angels     What kind of fool’d you put in me? [Chorus]     ’Cause now I’m tied by up by a back road y’know     The one that no one really takes     ’cept for me now to be nowhere     When that early morning breaks [Instrumental] [Verse]     They sure won’t let me leave this summer No no no And they won’t let me go this fall     And with the likelihood of winter     They’ll take the heat out of us all     Just to deliver all their daughters     To track down sons of serpent roads     And let me look out over slaughter     To have a night out with the boys [Chorus]     And now I’m takin’ off the back road y’know     The one that no one really takes     ’cept for me now to be nowhere     When that early morning breaks
