Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x4

My life is extraordinary bare

I fought the fear and chased the pain.

My life doesnt need to be explained

I chose to walk the line as one

Sometimes as I live upon my island

Cut off from emotion and its pain

 Ohh, thats when I am tempted by the waters

The waters that I can take me far away

Chorus

 So Ill just keep on walking down this open road

Hoping someone somewhere needs me

 So Ill just keep on walking down this open road

Talking to the man who knows me

 Yes he knows me, the man is me

My life was once full of peoples faces

Brought to me by love which isnt strange

 Oh my life had the goodness of blue waters

 A days a day for all I used to say

Sometimes I can sit and cry my heart out

Drowning in my autocratic ways .

 Oh, thats when I am tempted by the waters

Waters that can take me far away

 So Ill just keep on walking down this open road

Hoping someone somewhere needs me

 So Ill just keep on walking down this open road

Talking to the man who knows me

 Yes he knows me, the man is me.

x8

My life is now full of peoples faces

Within the light of change I pulled away

My life shows that no man is an island

 Ive exchanged the piece of life I cut away

 Now you wont see me walking down that open road

Ive found someone now who needs me

 No you wont see me walking down that open road

 Ive found at last the man who knows me

 Yes he knows me, the man was me

 The man was me.
