Dm                           A#
Show me the road and I will find my own
Dm                               C
You build your bridges and I'll burn 'em down
So far away and all alone I roam
I'll take my chances in the here and now

And all you wonder is who's for sale
Well, you won't know now and I won't tell
You're always hiding, throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again

Chorus:
    Dm                       C         Dm
And God only knows all the places I've been
    Dm                         C    G/B
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow, so I'll live for today

Another day and yet another's done
Spending a life living within' the past
I'll take the chance before the chance has gone
You never know when it'll be your last

And all you wonder is who's for sale
Well, you won't know now and I won't tell
You're always hiding, throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again

Chorus:
And God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow, so I'll live for today

D
We'll know when we run out of time
           G
Until it's all over with
And there'll be no where to run

We'll never say it but we're over out heads
And we're drowning inside with all
the things we've said

Chorus:
And God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow, so I'll live for today
And God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow, so I'll live for today
