[VERSE 1]
C F
Well my daddy he stood at the foot of the stairs
C G
He was calling to me at the time
C F
And I knew even then, I could die for the thoughts
C G C
That I kept in the back of my mind
[VERSE 2]
C
But I dared not to speak
F
How I felt for my dad
C G
Cause there were no words to define
C F
The ball of confusion, of feelings and junk
C G C
That I kept in the back of my mind
[INTERLUDE]
C F C G C F C G C
[VERSE 3]
C
So I took to the highway
F
And I kept to myself
C G
Just a lookin' and hopin' to find
C F
Some solutions, some answers, someway to exist
C G C
With this stuff in the back of my mind
[VERSE 4]
C
So I took me a job
F
And I took me a wife
C G
And I took me a bottle of wine
C F
And it did not take long, 'til all I had left
C G C
Was this stuff in the back of my mind
[CHORUS]
C F Dm G
Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train
E Am F G C
Flying blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind
[INTERLUDE]
C F C G C F C G C
[VERSE 5]
C
Well the end of the tunnel
F
Just never came up
C G
'til I came to the end of the line
C F
And I saw that the light I'd been hoping to see
C G C
Was just a spark in the back of my mind
[VERSE 6]
C
And the cold wind that blew
F
Through the hole in my heart
C G
Made a fire for the very first time
C
From some branches of trust
F
And a kindling of faith
C G C
And that spark in the back of my mind
[CHORUS]
[OUTRO]
F G C
shot from the dark in the back of my mind
F G C
shot from the dark in the back of my mind
