[Verse 1]
C Em
I don’t know where I’m going, but this road I’m on,
Am G C C
Is taking me places I’ve never been,
C Em
I don’t do well on my own, but when you’re here I swear I’m home,
Am G C C
The love you gave is more than I could ever pay,
C Em
I just moved out west, and God I’m scared to death,
Am G C C
Of the things that people are aiming me to be,
C Em
And how do I make sense of all this shit I’m in,
Am G C C
It’s like everyone wants to help and no one can see.

[Chorus]
F G
When I close my eyes and think about my dreams,
C G/B Am
It’s a million eyes and one set of strings,
F G
And I’m convinced that you’re the only one that knows me,
C G/B Am
With you I’m already the man I wanna be,
F G
They don’t understand just how much your heart means,
C G/B Am
It saved my life, it helped me forget the pain,
F G7
And don’t you worry, the love we have won’t leave,
C G/B C
You ain’t in my head, you’re in the way I breathe.

[Verse 2]
C Em
One thing I miss most about the place I was grown,
Am G C C
Is no one saw me as more than just a kid,
C
When this machine tries to buy me out,
Em Em7
I scream out to the crowds,
Am G C C
I’m a busted-ass boy that was built on honesty,
C
Mama always said to me,
Em
My son, you’re a sun to see,
Am G C C
Where would I be without you believing in me,
C
I got some boys that would die for me,
Em
And a girl that would never leave,
Am G C C
What else could a man ever need.

[Chorus]
F G
When I close my eyes and think about my dreams,
C G/B Am
It’s a million eyes and one set of strings,
F G
And I’m convinced that you’re the only one that knows me,
C G/B Am
With you I’m already the man I wanna be,
F G
They don’t understand just how much your heart means,
C G/B Am
It saved my life, it helped me forget the pain,
F G7
And don’t you worry, the love we have won’t leave,
N.C. Cadd9
You ain’t in my head, you’re in the way I breathe.
