Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

G C D

I remember wanting everything

G C D

Just like I was still some kind of kid

G C D

The diesel needs the dirt and the dove’s gotta fly

G C D

The best lovers need a room with a bed

Chorus

G C D

And I hope you find your way out of the ordinary

G C D

I hope you find your way before you die

G C D Em

And I hope you never act your age, promise me you’ll try

G C D

I hope you find your way out of the ordinary

Verse 2

G C D

I remember praying to the Lord

G C D

For a little farm with a long driveway

G C D

And a woman who loves me even when I get bored

G C D

And a workin’ radio in a Chevrolet

Chorus

G C D

And I hope you find your way out of the ordinary

G C D

I hope you find your way before you die

G C D Em

And I hope you never act your age, promise me you’ll try

G C D

I hope you find your way out of the ordinary

Bridge

C G D Em C

And I’ve been drinking coffee and I’ve been eating steak

G D Em C D

I’ve been making love on a lakeside break

C G D Em C

And I’ve been thinking maybe people make mistakes

G D Em C D

When they think that happy is a tangible place

Verse 3

G C D

I remember wanting everything

G C D

Now I only want a little less

G C D G C

I want a home in the valley with a wooden front porch

D G C D

Where a man can sit and find some rest

Chorus

G C D

And I hope you find your way out of the ordinary

G C D

I hope you find your way before you die

G C D Em

And I hope you never act your age, promise me you’ll try

G C D

I hope you find your way out of the ordinary

Outro
