 G                Am   Em
Man, it's been a long day
Stuck thinking 'bout it
  G             Am  Em
driving on the freeway
Wondering if I really
  G              Am Em
tried everything I could
Not knowing if I should
  G          Am  Em
try a little harder

Chorus:
              G        Am
Oh, but I'm scared to death
           Em                 C
That there may not be another one like this
    G     Am           Em
And I confess that I'm only holding on by
    C
a thin thin thread
     G                      D
I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
     C
The words that you needed so bad
         G                     D
And I'm kicking the dirt cause I never gave you
      C
The things that you needed to have
      G Am Em
I'm so sad
 G Am Em
sad

Man, it's been a long night
Just sitting here, trying not to look back
Still looking at the road we never drove on
And wondering if the one I chose was the right one

Chorus:
Oh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess that I'm only holding on by
a thin thin thread
I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have
I'm so sad, sad
I'm so sad, so sad - x2
