Verse:
As I'm [C]thrown into an empty room or should I say a box
I t[Am]ry to turn around to leave but the door is slammed and locks
so I [G]sit here and I think about all the evil things I've done
I [F]lost where I was going cause I for[G]got where I came from
Chorus:
I [C]surrender
Put my weapons down
I can't [Am]remember
what I'm doing in this town
It's [G]time for me to pack my bags
I will always be alone
The [F]only thing I've ever known is [G]out there on the road
I'm a [C]drifter
I'm a [Am]drifter[G][F][G]
Verse:
Now [C]every time I look straight into my father's eyes
I [Am]see how hurt and broken down he is from all the times
He [G]had to watch the son he raised follow in his steps
The [F]only option that he ever had was [G]to hope for the best
Chorus:
I [C]surrender
Put my weapons down
I can't [Am]remember
what I'm doing in this town
It's [G]time for me to pack my bags
I will always be alone
The [F]only thing I've ever known is [G]out there on the road
Bridge:
My [Am]faith is weak my soul is bound
this lonely road I travel down
I [C]scrape my feet this jagged ground
the cuts run deep into me now
Mo[F]ther oh why aren't you here
So young I was, you disappeared
I [G]know the truth is ugly did you truly ever love me?
[Am] [C] [F] [Em] [F] [G]
Outro:
I [C]surrender
Curse my mothers soul
I still [Am]miss her
No matter where I go
It's [G]time for me to pack my bags
I will always be alone
The [F]only thing I've ever known [G]is a broken home
