If there was a key, you took it in your hand
 G/B                                                      C
There's no wrong or right, but I'm sure there's good and bad

The questions linger overhead

Bridge
Dm             F               C                  Em
I let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
A#                                       F
And in time I've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
Dm                  F                C        Em
I can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
A#                                    F
Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
Chorus
G/B                       Bm                   C
All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
               Am          G
Choosing the shiny ones instead
G/B                          Bm           C      Am  G/B
I turned my back, now there's no turning back

I'm just walking the mile, every once in a while I'll get a ride
