Hope The High Road (Jason Isbell) From "The Nashville Sound" [Intro] | D A . . | F#m A . . | D A . . | [Verse 1] |F#m A |D A | . . . I used to think that this was my town . what a stupid |F#m A |D A | Thing to think . I hear you're fightin' off a breakdown, I myself am |F#m A |D A | On the brink . I used to wanna be a real man . I don't know what that |F#m A |D A | Even means . Now I just want you in my arms again |F#m A | . And we can search each other's dreams . . [Chorus] |Bm |A E | . . I know you're tired and you ain't sleepin' well |Bm |A E | . . Uninspired and likely mad as hell |Bm |A E |D | . . But wherever you are I hope the high road leads you home again . . [Verse 2] |E |A | . . . I've heard enough of the white man's blues, . I've sang enough about |F#m A |D A | My - self . . So if you're lookin' for some bad news, . you can find it |F#m A |D A | Somewhere else . Last year was a son of a bitch . for nearly every |F#m A |D A One we know, . but I ain't fightin' with ya down in a ditch, |F#m A | . I'll meet you up here on the road . . [Chorus] |Bm |A E | . . I know you're tired and you ain't sleepin' well |Bm |A E | . . Uninspired and likely mad as hell |Bm |A E | . . But wherever you are I hope the high road leads you |D |E | Home again . to a world you wanna live in . [Bridge] |F#m |F#m |A |A | . . We'll ride the ship down dumping buckets overboard . . . |F#m |F#m |E |D | . . There can't be more of them than us, there can't be more . . . [Break] | D A . . | F#m A . . | D A . . | F#m A . . | | D A . . | F#m A . . | D A . . | F#m A . . | [Chorus] |Bm |A E | . . I know you're tired and you ain't sleepin' well |Bm |A E | . . Uninspired and likely mad as hell |Bm |A E | . . But wherever you are I hope the high road leads you |D |E | Home again . to a world you wanna live in . |D |E | . . . To a world you wanna live in . [Outro] | D A . . | F#m A . . | D A . . | F#m A | Note: Counting this song is a little unusual because accent is placed on the second beat of every measure. So instead of ONE-two-three-four . . . count it as one-TWO-three-four. Charted by Dexex
