the way i oughta go Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Yet another [G]sleepless night, no [C]dreaming
I woke again to the absence of [G]your words
To a big old empty bed and that [C]feeling
I could scream at the top of my voice
And still I would [Am]not be h[G]eard
And [D]I know

[Verse 2]
[Em]in the morning
[G]where you'll [D]find [G]me[C]
Staring at the ceiling on my [G]own
[Dsus4]Well, my [G]mama fell in
love in East Vir[C]ginia
Well, maybe Richmond's
the way I oughta [G]to go

[Verse 3]
[G]
I was raised on the trust and
[C]wishful thinking
That my mama instilled in me
[G]when [C]I w[G]as born
Well, [Dsus4]some time[G]s it got away
without my [C]knowing
But mostly, it just helped me to [G]be bold

[Verse 4]
And [G]now, I'm so scared of
[Am]what might [G]hap[C]pen
Or maybe I'm just too young to [G]know
For, at least, that's what the people
like [Em]to te[C]ll me
Especially the ones that I
thought I [G]loved the most

[Verse 5]
And I [Em]know in the morning
[G]where you'll find me
[C]Staring at the ceiling on my [G]own
Well, my daddy fell in love
in North Caro[C]lina
Maybe Charlotte's the way I [G]oughta

[Interlude 1]
go
[G][Em][D][G][C]
[G][C][G]
[Dsus4]Now

[Verse 6]
[G]to me,
the word love has lost all [C]meaning
It's [G]just an empty sound I thought
I'd [C]al [G]ways known
[Dsus4]For my daddy use[G]d
to sing it to my [C]mama
But then he went and he left her all [G]alone

[Verse 7]
And [Em]I know in th[D]e morning
[G]where you'll find me
[C]Staring at the ceiling on [G]my own
Well, dreaming never met me in [C]Alberta
So I packed my things,
Tennessee I did [G]go
Well, dreaming never met me in Alber[G]ta
[C]So I packed my things, Tennessee I did go
