Back Of My Mind

D G D A D G D A D

[Verse 1]
D                              G
Well my daddy he stood at the foot of the stairs
          D                  A
He was calling to me at the time
 D                               G
And I knew even then, I could die for the thoughts
    D                A         D
That I kept in the back of my mind

[Verse 2]
D
But I dared not to speak
        G
How I felt for my dad
              D                  A
Cause there were no words to define
      D                      G
The ball of confusion, of feelings and junk
        D            A           D
That I kept in the back of my mind

[Verse 3]
        D
So I took to the highway
       G
And I kept to myself
         D                      A
Just a lookin' and hopin' to find
          D                        G
Some solutions, some answers, someway to exist
        D                 A        D
With this stuff in the back of my mind

[Verse 4]
       D
So I took me a job
         G
And I took me a wife
       D                   A
And I took me a bottle of wine
         D                           G
And it did not take long, 'til all I had left
            D           A          D
Was this stuff in the back of my mind

[Chorus]
D   D/F#   G  G/F#  Em  Em/G   A   A/G
Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train
F# F#/A# Bm   G              D         A           D
Flying blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind

[Verse 5]
D
Well the end of the tunnel
         G
Just never came up
          D                     A
'til I came to the end of the line
         D                         G
And I saw that the light I'd been hoping to see
      D                  A            D
Was just a spark in the back of my mind

[Verse 6]
          D
And the cold wind that blew
               G
Through the hole in my heart
         D                      A
Made a fire for the very first time
               D
From some branches of trust
          G
And a kindling of faith
             D           A         D
And that spark in the back of my mind

[Chorus]
D   D/F#   G  G/F#  Em  Em/G   A   A/G
Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train
F# F#/A# Bm   G              D         A           D
Flyin' blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind

D   D/F#   G  G/F#  Em  Em/G   A   A/G
Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train
F# F#/A# Bm   G              D         A           D
Flyin' blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind
G              D         A           D
shot from the dark in the back of my mind
G              D         A           D
shot from the dark in the back of my mind
