This a poem I wrote called "This Road I Know"
Verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
There's this flash I get often, a fever dream or a vision of sorts
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Most times late at night and I haven't found out why, but I know exactly why
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I'm on this road, and I hear gravel underneath me, and I feel it too
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
It's dark, it's really dark and the car is warm, but somehow I can feel how cold the night is
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I don't know where the road leads, but I know exactly where it ends
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
You see, I keep driving, and all I see for the longest while is my headlights for an eternity, it seems
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And everything is desolate and empty and nothing and hopeless
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I'm lost, but I know where I'm going, I'm safe, I'm warm, I'm driving and I see this small light
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
A dim one, growing brighter and bigger and closer and stronger and the closer I get, the more I see
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I make out a house with light strewn across it, a porch, some cars
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
Some frosted windshields that hadn't been touched for hours
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I hear a song, and it's faint, I can't make out the name, but I know every word
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I feel my feet first, and it's cold and they're crunching, and it's the sound of driveways
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the wind takes my breath with it
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And then I walk up to this door and I knock, even though I feel I don't have to
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
And this crack of light widens on this porch underneath me as this door opens
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And this brown-haired girl with the brightest smile
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I don't know who she is, but I know her so well and behind her, the warmest home I'd ever seen
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It's orange and comfortable, there's fire and it's bulb-lit
ch]Am[/ch
She says
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
"Where have you been? We've been waiting on you all night, we've missed you"
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
She says through the kindest smirk I'd seen in so long
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Then she tapers off the sentence with the, with the peaceful sound that a lady makes
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
She grabs me on my forearms, pulls softly into the dining room
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
There's people and they're happy and they're content for one
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I don't know who they are, but I know exactly who they are
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And we're all standing and I'm laughing at a joke I'll never hear again
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I don't know where I am but I know exactly where I am
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And then she tucks her head between my collar as a friend
ch]F[/ch
Between my collar and my jaw, and there's no weight at all
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And I don't know where I am, but there's no weight at all
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
It's laughter and grins and no tomorrow to win
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
Outro
ch]Am[/ch
I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
