Capo 1

      C           G
I had everything, lost it all
        C               F 
I built towers of gold, watched em fall
  Am                  F                         G
I tried my best but I guess my best just wasn't good enough

       C         G
I made promises. Broke em
     C                          F 
I've laid loved ones lives wide open
               Am                    F                         G
And I've got a broken heart but I've come this far and I ain't givin up

             F                           C 
I pray for a stronger back, I pray for a bigger heart
               G               F               C
I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark
              F                         Am
I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track
                   F              G                   C 
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back

I've seen losers get a second chance
I've seen miracles from happenstance
I've seen long shots come from way behind to win the race

And I've dreams blow up in a cloud of smoke
It's a world of pain, it's a world of hope
And it's dark right now but I know somehow
     Dm               C                F                G
Some day the sun will find some way to shine down on my face

Chorus
              F                       Am
I follow that windin road just try to stay on track
                   F      G                           C
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back
