D#   F                 A#       D#
Is this the life you chose yourself
               F
Or just how it ended up?
D#   F                A#        D#
Is that the yard you pictured when
                     F
You closed your eyes and dreamed
     D#              F              A#          D#
Of children in the grass running through the sprinklers?
                  F
Being somebody's wife?
D#           F          A#     D#   F
Or were you living in another life?

Chorus:
Cm           D#
When will I make it home?
  Gm              F
When I damn well feel like driving
Cm         D#
Down these empty streets
      Gm              Fsus4     F
That burn through our birthright

   A#                 F            D#             F      Gm
I passed a couple of kids holding hands in the street tonight
  A#           F    D#      F
They reminded me of us in another life

I passed a couple of kids holding hands in the street tonight
They reminded me of us in another life
Am I the man of your desire
Or just a guy from your hometown?
Are these the arms that you saw when you
Pictured yourself wrapped around?
Baby, I can vouch for the hopeless dreamer
When you look at me, am I the man you hoped I'd be?

Chorus:
When will I make it home?
When that jukebox in the corner
Stops playing country songs of stories that sound like mine

    A#           F            D#          F       Gm
I spent my best years laying rubber on a factory line
   A#            F            D#   F         D# F A# D#
I wonder what I would've been in another life

F              D# F A# D#
In another life
F              D# F A# D#
In another life
F              D# F A# D#
In another life
