Lhasa de Sela - Anywhere on this road

^DmI live in this country now I'm called by this name I speak this language It's not quite the same

For ^Gmno other reason Than this it's my home And the places I used to be Far from are gone

^Dm You've traveled this long You just have to go on Don't even look back to see How far you've come

Though your ^Gmbody is bending Under the load There is nowhere to stop Anywhere on this road

^Dm My heart is breaking I cannot sleep I love a man Who's afraid of me

He ^Gmbelieves if he doesn't Stand guard with a knife I'll make him my slave For the rest of his life

^Dm I love this hour When the tide is just turning There will be an end To the longing and yearning

If I can sta^Gmnd up To angels and men I'll never get swallowed In darkness again

^Dm You've traveled this long You just have to go on Don't even look back to see How far you've come

Though your ^Gmbody is bending Under the load There is nowhere to stop Anywhere on this road
