Road To Nowhere Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, the ditches are on fire
And there ain't no higher [G]ground
You were a prince in the city [D]of angels, kid
Now you're pawning your clothes
in a railroad [A]town
Forgive[D]ness is the killer of snakes,
amigo, in the gardens of des[G]pair
Keep your mind on the middle, [D]little brother,
[Em]out on that [A]road to [D]no one
From the polo club in
Ibadan to an abandoned church [G]in
Rome
You keep thinking you recog[D]nize faces
The way flesh is carved
like [A]ice over bone
Making deals with the [D]wrong
class of people
Between a curse and [G]a prayer
There's a thin line between
[D]power and glory
[Em]Out on that [A]road to [D]nowhere
Row, row, row your little dre[G]amboat
Silently [F#m]down the stream
Bankers, cops,
and can[Em]dlestick makers
They're [A]all gone wise to your
[D]dirty little schemes
You're riding backwards on [G]a blind horse
In a carnival tent way [F#m]out there
The tunnel of love was never [Em]finished
[A]Out on that road to [D]nowhere
[G][D][Em][A][D]
Ashes to ashes
Dirt to [G]dirt
You find high on
Oxy[D]contin and vodka, kid
Why in the hell do you [A]still hurt?
Now every day is the [D]day of reckoning
Even the weatherman
makes [G]you feel scared
Rise up, dead man,
and [D]keep staggering down
[Em]That old [A]broken road to [D]nowhere
Oh, your little dre[G]amboat,
silently down[F#m]stream
Bankers, cops and can
[Em]dlestick makers
They're [A]all wise to your
[D]dirty little scheme
You're riding backwards on [G]a blind horse
In some carnival tent [F#m]way out there
Where the tunnel of love's never [Em]finished
[A]Out on that road to [D]nowhere
The tunnel of love was nev[Em]er finished
[A]Out on that broken road to [D]nowhere
Well, the ditch is on fire
And there ain't no higher [G]ground[D][D]
you
