[Verse]
            Em                     
When I need space that's where I go
           G                       
A place to escape that nobody knows
                  D               
Where I feel free to let things go
              C                        
And face this evil that burdens my soul
           Em                   
I bring my hatred I pack my pain
        G                        
All the emotions I cannot explain
                       D                   
It's where I found God and filled that hole
               C                         Em  
It's he myself and I on that lonely dirt road
Em                                    
I needed somewhere to take my mistakes
G                                    
I didn't want my family to see me cry
D                                           C     
They'll never know I'm carrying all of this weight
                                       Em     
Dealing with the pressure of trying to provide
Em                                     
No sign of struggle can show on my face
G                                        D    
They ask if I'm okay I just flash them a smile
D                                  
Fire up that engine to take me away


[Chorus]
C                                            
I'm speeding through emotions with every mile
Em                                   
On that road is where I find my peace
G                                                   
I remember Daddy told me 'bout some times like these
D                                     
On that road is where my minds at ease
       C                                    
I keep driving life away rejecting change so
            Em                     
When I need space that's where I go
           G                       
A place to escape that nobody knows
                  D               
Where I feel free to let things go
              C                        
And face this evil that burdens my soul
           Em                   
I bring my hatred I pack my pain


[Verse]
                 G               
All the emotions I cannot explain
                   D                       
It's where I found God and filled that hole
                   C                     Em  
It's he myself and I on that lonely dirt road
Em                                         
I tried my best to plant the seeds and then
  G                                     
I watered everything that was in my life
D                                             
But as a man the only flowers that you get are
            C7      C                       
When you're sixfeet under on the day you die
Em                                                          G 
I think I feel the pain my father felt it's finally sinking in
        G                         
Looking back all I see is his eyes
D                                                      
He said that house is Not a home unless you build it on
C                                       
Respect with some kids and a loving wife


[Chorus]
Em                                                     G       
■  If these walls could talk I bet they'd say it's all my fault
                                   D                                  
That I don't try hard that I ain't man enough that I ain't standing up
            C                             Em   
That I just burn everything that my hands touch


[Verse]
                                                  Em   
If these walls could talk I bet they'd say I'm to blame
G                                                            
That I'm the one who put myself inside of all of these chains
D                                                 
That my addictive personalities what ran them away
C                                      
And that I hurt myself by staying quiet
                   Em  Em7              Em              
And not explaining I'm broken in places I can't even see
G                                       
I know there's gotta be a Heaven because
                      D                         
The hell that's in me is taking a dangerous toll
         C                         
That I'm paying with all of my soul


[Chorus]
            Em                     
When I need space that's where I go
           G                       
A place to escape that nobody knows
                  D               
Where I feel free to let things go
                   C               Cmaj7
And face this evil that burdens my soul 
           Em                   
I bring my hatred I pack my pain
        G                        
All the emotions I cannot explain
                       D                   
It's where I found God and filled that hole
               C                         Em  
It's he myself and I on that lonely dirt road
