Capo 3 

Intro:   Am  C  G  Am (2x) 

             Am                                 C 
With the wrath of the law and the lonesome above you 
       G                                   Am 
And all those who love you behind 
       Am                                     C 
The storm in your rear view, and darkness before you 
G                                   Am 
Where will you fly to this time? 

         Am                            C 
Only Jesus will go down the road that you're burning 
G                                   Am 
You should be turning to him. 
      Am                                                       C 
But how can you wait and be washed in the water 
                 G                     Am 
When the river is dirty as sin? 

	Am  C  G  Am 

         Am                                     C 
Well how can she take you and make you so lonely? 
       G                                   Am 
You said she was only your friend. 
             Am                                                       C 
But any fool and his pride who has tried to refuse her 
        G                        Am 
Can see your using again 

    Am                               C 
It snows like a ghost of cocaine on the highway 
         G                                             Am 
That shifts and plays tricks on your mind 
       Am                                   C 
The wind is like razors and in only 2 days 
             G                             Am 
You've done 200,000 white lines 

                       C               Am 
You took the wrong way home 

                       C               Am  
You took the wrong way home    



Am  C  G  Am (2x) 


        Am                               C 
You blasted the bedrock and laid all the black top 
           G                                        Am 
Like a snake round the shoulders of God. 
       Am                                    C 
But Christ on his hilltop and the cop at the truck stop 
             G                           Am 
They're both only doing their jobs. 

              Am                                      C 
But you gone and double-crossed too many, now you lost 
       G                                   Am 
The last friend that you had to lose 
                       Am              C 
Now he's in the ambulance, you're in the cruiser 
           G                       Am 
With a fatal case of the sucker-punch blues 

                      C                Am 
You took the wrong way home 
                      C                Am 
You took the wrong way home 
                       C              Am 
You took the wrong way home 

                Am                        C 
With the wrath of the law and lonesome above you 
        G                                  Am 
And all those who love you behind.
