[Intro]D#FA#D#D#D#F2x[Verse 1]D#F
Is this the life you
A#D#
chose yourself
F
Or just how it ended up?
D#F
Is that the yard you
A#D#
pictured when
F
You closed your eyes and dreamed
D#F
Of children in the grass
A#D#
running through the sprinklers?
F
Being somebody's wife?
D#F
Or were you living in
A#D#F
another life?
[Chorus]CmD#
When will I make it home?
GmF
When I damn well feel
like driving
CmD#
Down these empty streets
GmFsus4F
That burn through our birthright
A#F
I passed a couple of kids
D#
holding hands in the
FGm
street tonight
A#F
They reminded me of
D#F
us in another life
[Instrumental]D#FA#D#D#D#F2x

[Verse 2]D#FA#D#
Am I the man of your desire?
F
Or just a guy from your hometown?
D#F
Are these the arms
A#D#
that you saw when you
F
Pictured yourself
wrapped around?
N.C.
Baby, I can vouch for
the hopeless dreamer
D#add9D#
When you look at me, am
FA#D#F
I the man you hoped I'd be?
[Chorus]CmD#
When will I make it home?
GmF
When that jukebox in the corner
CmD#
Stops playing country songs of
GmFsus4F
stories that sound like mine
[Outro]A#F
I spent my best years laying
D#FGm
rubber on a factory line
A#F
I wonder what I would've
D#F
been in another life
D#FA#DFD#FA#D#
In another life
FD#FA#D#
In another life
FD#FA#D#
In another life
