C G
Old man on his way back home
C G
Late from work today
C G
Far out on a dirt road

And couldn't find his way

With tears in his eyes, he knew
C G
There was no one in sight
C G
And tried to tell himself
D G
That it'll be alright
Chorus:
C Em
Why's it always darkest
G
Right before the dawn
C D
If liars can be honest
G
Then right can be wrong
C Em
And when you find the doorway
G G C
Are you in or you out
C G
You have to stand up
D Em
Before you fall down
C G
You need to get lost
D G
Before you get found
