Lord Only Knows

• G

 G                          C                         D                
Ten years in jail was the sentence that they handed down

    G                                C         D
I didn't like the odds that I would last that long

                   G               C         D
They turned their backs and I was gone gone gone

 G                       C                       D
Just turned 18 and I'm lookin at some real hard time

     G                   C            D
Now I'm seeing things in my rearview mirror

          G            D          G
Now it's just me and these white lines


CHORUS

  D                        G
Lord only knows where I'm goin

        D                       C
Can't remember the places I've been 

 D                    C       G    D                     G
Tell me if I'll ever make it home again    whoa-o  home again


Apart from these troubles mother's all I leave behind
Says I remind her of my father but hell if I know
He left town when I was 3 years old
She did the best she could I can't help but feel I'm doin her wrong
She'll be much better off now that I'm gone
I don't much feel like hangin around

Chorus 


 D                                        G
I can't believe how bright the stars are shinin'

      D                              G              C
And I can't recall the last time I looked into the sky

         D                            G               C
And it seems to me if I can make it cross the county line

   D                         C
Maybe my life will turn out fine

 G                           C                       D
Ten years in jail was the sentence that they handed down
