        D#m  F#     G#
I went down to the highway
     A#m7    C#    G#  F#   D#m
That runs between love and pride
       D#m     F#   G#
And I tried to get sideways
   A#m7 C#  G#    F#  D#m
Across the great divide
       D#m     F#          G#
But my mind's eye's on the key ring
A#m7 C# G# F# D#m
Crying in misery
          D#m    F#             G#
'Cause it won't spend one more evening
A#m7 C#  G#  F# D#m
Staring back to me

C#
It may be by choice
     G#/C
Or a small inner voice
        D#m
I can't say
C#
When you add up the cost
   G#/C
We all have a cross
G/B                       A#m
How do you write off the loss?

Chorus:
F#                 G#
Where do I go from here?
A#m7     C#      D#m
How do I find my way?
F#                  G#
When is it loud and clear?
             F#
That there's no turning back
G#
No looking back
F#                 G#
Where do I go from here?
A#m7   C#   D#m
Nobody gets away
C#
It's a new kind of fix
        G#/C
For the poor and the rich
G/B                           A#m
You never know what's coming next,
at the turning point

The rules are unwritten
And nobody knows the deal
Where have I been driven
Are demons behind the wheel?
Yeah, I know my days are numbered
We're only flesh and bone
And I've been left to wonder
How it went so wrong

Is it all tailor made?
Can the sinner be saved?
I can't say
So don't hang your hat
On the knife in my back
'Cause nobody treats me like that

Chorus

Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
At the turning point
