D A7 Bm D A7 Bm Thought I knew my mind like the back of my hand. D A7 Bm C B A The gold and the rainbow, but nothing panned out as I planned. D D G D E And they say only milk and honey's gonna make your soul satisfied. G C D Well, I better learn how to swim, 'cause the crossing is chilly and wide. [Verse 2] D A7 Bm D A7 Bm Twisted guardrails on the highway, broken glass on the cement. D A7 Bm C B A A ghost of someone's tragedy. How recklessly my time has been spent. D They say that it's never too late, G D E But you don't, you don't get any younger. G C D A7 Well, I better learn how to starve the emptiness and feed the hunger. [Chorus] D G C G D A7 Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road. Bm D G E You can stand there and agonize 'til your agony’s your heaviest load. D G D E You'll never fly as the crow flies. Get used to a country mile. G C When you're learning to face the path at your pace D A7 Every choice is worth your while. [Verse 3] D A7 Bm D A7 Bm And there's always retrospect (when you're looking back) to light a clearer path. D A7 Bm D C B A Every five years or so I look back on my life, and I have a good laugh. D You start at the top (start at the top), go full-circle 'round, G D E Catch a breeze, take a spill, G C D A7 But ending up where I started again makes me want to stand still. [Chorus] D G C G D A7 Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road. Bm D G E D A7 You can stand there and agonize 'til your agony’s your heaviest load. D G D E You'll never fly as the crow flies. Get used to a country mile. G C When you're learning to face the path at your pace D Every choice is worth your while [Bridge] Bm D E C G Stepping on a crack (stepping on a crack), breaking up and looking back E Bm 'Til every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait, C G A7 'Til every step you take becomes a twist of fate (twist of fate). [Chorus] D G C G D A7 Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road. Bm D G E D A7 You can stand there and agonize 'til your agony’s your heaviest load. D G D E You'll never fly as the crow flies. Get used to a country mile. G C When you're learning to face the path at your pace D Every choice is worth your while [Chorus] D G C G D A7 Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road. Bm D G E D A7 You can stand there and agonize 'til your agony’s your heaviest load. D G D E You'll never fly as the crow flies. Get used to a country mile. G C When you're learning to face the path at your pace D Every choice is worth your while [Outro] G C And when you're learning to face the path at your pace, D Every choice is worth your while.
