[Intro]
D  C Em  Gm7
 
 
[Verse 1]
 D
Just when I thought I'd weathered the storm
 C                                                 Em
Rain starts to pour, those same old tears back on my face
      Gm7
No escape, ooh
 D
Ripped out the page, rewrote the play
C                                       Em
I did away with heroes and villains and old scars
      Gm7
From cold wars
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         Em             Gm7
But the pain isn't done, no, no
          Bm           G
When the battle is won
                   Em
So I'm running in circles, I've been
 Gm7
Reaching dead ends
    C
I guess I'm not over it yet
 
 
[Chorus]
       D              C
'Cause I'm losing my mind
              Em
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
              Gm7
Sometimes I flip so fast, I don't know
D                C
I'm looking for signs
                  Em
For some kind of highway to letting it go, but
 Gm7
Forgivеness is a winding road
 
 
[Verse 2]
 D
Dead on my feet, walking thesе street
    C                                           Em
I swear that I've been here before, each way I turn
               Gm7
Yeah, I never learn
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      Em                Gm7
I'm chasing blue skies
                    Bm              G
'Cause I only see clouds in my eyes
                   Em
So I'm running in circles, I've been
 Gm7
Reaching dead ends
    C
I guess I'm not over it yet
 
 
[Chorus]
       D              C
'Cause I'm losing my mind
              Em
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
              Gm7
Sometimes I flip so fast, I don't know
D                C
I'm looking for signs
                  Em
For some kind of highway to letting it go, but
 Gm7                      C    G/B    D
Forgivеness is a winding road
       Bb   C   D   A
Yeah, yeah,   hmm
 
 
[Bridge]
C           G/B             D       A/C#
 I'm still looking for the highway
G          D/F#            Em
 Wondering if I went the wrong way
             Em
But I ain't lost
 
 
[Chorus]
       D          C
'Cause I, I'll be alright
              Em
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
                   Gm7
Yeah, I'm taking two steps back to go forward
D                C
I'm looking for signs
                  Em                    Gm7
For some kind of highway to letting it go
                 Em                   Gm7
Yeah, I'm outta luck but I still got hope
                      Em                  Gm7
Yeah, are we nearly there yet? God only knows
        Gm7
But forgiveness is a winding road
 
 
[Ending]
D  D
              Just when I thought
I'd weathered the storm
Rain starts to pour
Those same old tears back on my face
No escape, ooh

Ripped out the page
Rewrote the play
I did away with heroes and villains
And old scores
From cold wars

But the pain isn't done
No, no, when battle is won
So I'm running in circles again
Reaching dead ends
I guess I'm not over it yet

'Cause I'm, losing my mind
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
Sometimes it flips, so fast I don't know

I'm looking for signs
For some kinda of highway to letting it go, but
Forgiveness is a winding road

Dead on my feet
Walking these streets
I swear that I've been here before
Each way I turn
Yeah, I never learn

I'm chasing blue skies
'Cause I only see clouds in my eyes
So I'm running in circles again
Reaching dead ends
I guess I'm not over it yet

'Cause I'm, losing my mind
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
Sometimes it flips, so fast I don't know

I'm looking for signs
For some kinda of highway to letting it go
But forgiveness is a winding road
Yeah, oh

I'm still looking for that highway
Wondering if I went the right way
But I ain't lost

'Cause I'll be alright
Sometimes I blame you, sometimes I don't
Yeah, I'm taking two steps back to go forward

I'm looking for signs
For some kinda of highway to letting it go
I'm out of luck, but I still got hope
Are we nearly there yet? God only knows
But forgiveness is a winding road
