G           Em           C         G 
Put a bend in the road I’m too lost and tired 
                 Em    C              D 
To see where I’m going, what I left behind 
       Em         Bm  G7            G           C 
And I’m moving so slow, don’t know when I’ll arrive 
         Em          G                 C    D            G 
So put a bend in the road, I’m growing tired of straight lines 


Em  C  D   G 


  G               Em    C                   G 
I set off for the shore, that was far less away 
                Em    C                    D 
From the ones I adored, in the place I was raised 
      Em            Bm G7        G           C 
And I roam down the road just to watch it go by 
         Em         G           C      D   G 
And when nowhere is love, maybe nowhere am I 

Am               G           Am           G 
Everyone needs a touch, or a shoulder for crying 
         Em        A7    C               D 
They say love is a crutch, I say love is blind 
           G            Em                   C        G 
And that’s all that she needed, that I could not supply 
                   Em           C  D      G 
With a bend in the road, put it out of my mind 


Solo 

G  Em  C  G   
        Yeah! 
G  Em  C  D  G 


Am                   G             Am         G 
Met a strange little girl, who was everything I  
     Em              A7  C            D 
ever dreamed I could love or be loved by 
   
         G            Em  C                G 
So put a bridge, or a hill, or a forest of pines 
              Em  C               D 
Or a river of blue I can run alongside 
         Em              Bm   G7                    C 
And I’ll sleep when it’s night, I'll follow all the signs 
           Em          G                 C    D            Em    A7 
Just put a bend in the road, I’m growing tired of straight lines 
      C           G                 C   D (stop strumming) G 
Put a bend in the road, I’m growing tired of straight lines
