Verse:
 
       C
As I'm thrown into an empty room or should I say a box
   Am
I try to turn around to leave but the door is slammed and locks
     G
so I sit here and I think about all the evil things I've done
  F                                 G
I lost where I was going cause I forgot where I came from
 
 
Chorus:
 
  C
I surrender
 
Put my weapons down
        Am
I can't remember
 
what I'm doing in this town
     G
It's time for me to pack my bags
 
I will always be alone
    F                             G
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road
      C
I'm a drifter
      Am            G F G
I'm a drifter
 
 
Verse:
 
    C
Now every time I look straight into my father's eyes
  Am
I see how hurt and broken down he is from all the times
   G
He had to watch the son he raised follow in his steps
    F                                G
The only option that he ever had was to hope for the best
 
 
Chorus:
 
  C
I surrender 
 
Put my weapons down
        Am
I can't remember
 
what I'm doing in this town
     G
It's time for me to pack my bags
 
I will always be alone
    F                             G
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road
 
 
Bridge:
 
   Am
My faith is weak my soul is bound
 
this lonely road I travel down
  C
I scrape my feet this jagged ground
 
the cuts run deep into me now
  F
Mother oh why aren't you here
 
So young I was, you disappeared
  G
I know the truth is ugly did you truly ever love me?
 
Am C F Em F G
 
 
Outro:
 
  C
I surrender
 
Curse my mothers soul
        Am
I still miss her
 
No matter where I go
     G
It's time for me to pack my bags
 
I will always be alone
    F                          G
The only thing I've ever known is a broken home
