C              Em
I tried to get over you
C                Em
I tried to find something new
C              G D/F# Em
But all I could ever do
     D       C          Bm         Am
Was fill my time with thoughts of you

I tried to go somewhere old
To search for my pot of gold
But all I could ever hold
Inside my mind were thoughts of you

Em                           Am9
I hear your music and it's driving me wild
Em                     Am9
Familiar rhythms in a different style
Em                           Am              B7
I hear your music and it's driving me wild again

Chorus:
Em                      Am
Don't want to let you take me down
Em                      Am
Don't want to get hurt second time around
Em                        Am           B7
Don't want to walk that lonely road again

I hear your music and it's driving me wild
Familiar rhythms in a different style
I hear your music and it's driving me wild again

Chorus - x2

I don't wanna walk that lonely road, no
Don't wanna, don't wanna walk that lonely road
Don't wanna walk that lonely road
I don't wanna walk it
No, no, no, no, no, no
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna walk that lonely road
I don't wanna walk that lonely road again
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna walk that lonely road
No, no
No, no
