The Beaten Path

C G Em C G G Em C From birth I've known little but pain D G each footfall I've put down on this earth G Em C takes me further from ghosts that i've slain C D and what's it been worth? G E C G G Over mountains and rivers my trail C D this beaten path i have beaten alone G Em circles round to the past without fail C D ever darker and more overgrown C D The mountains can't come between memories D Em the rivers can't wash away my hurt C D G and fightin' through this thicket that's inside of me C has left me broken down in the dirt... G D G Em But one day our paths chained C G and in you I could see the same pain Em the same will to forge on in your gaze C but the same beaten path D was in your wake. G E C G G E C G G Em C Now I can't say that the past doesn't hurt D but in some ways i'm starting to mend G Em it ain't that loving you has changed me no C D I'm just finally going around the bend G Em We'll claw at the world together C D we'll reap a clear path when we're pressed G Em I know our journey one day will end C D But now you'll be there when I rest... D G E C G G E C D G Em But one day our paths chained C G and in you I could see the same pain Em the same will to forge on in your gaze C but the same beaten path D was in your wake. G E C G In your...wake G E C G In your...wake
