Which Way Do I Turn

Key of G
[Verse]
C6 G
When I thought there was no more for me to see
C Am G
I'm confronted with a door and I don't have the key
[Chorus]
Em D C
I've seen dreams made of castles wash away like sand
Em D C
I've seen the lives disrupted with a wave of fates hand
Am G D
I've loved the trees yet I watched the forests burn
Am G F D
With a single touch I turned gold to rust but I still haven't learned
C6
Which way do I turn
G
Which way do I turn
[Verse]
C6 G
When I thought that I could give no more pain
C Am G
You said you need me to live but I know that that's insane
[Chorus]
Em D C
I've taken gifts I's given and I squandered them away
Em D C
I've taken lives worth livin so I could have another day
Am G D
I made somethin bad out of somethin that was good
Am G F D
And I can't take it back but if I only could
C6
Yes if I could
G
If I only could
[Chorus]
Em D C
And I just can't believe that I'm the only one who's here
Em D C
But when I look around me I'm not seein things too clear
Am G/B C D
For the flashes of the lightnin caused by the blindin pain
Am G/B C D
And the roarin of the thunder through the tears that fall like rain
Em D C
And I can smell the ashes of the dreams we made last night
Em D C D
When I reach out for the comfort of when you held me tight
[Verse]
C6 G
And I've found there is no one for me to tell
Am C G
So I'll confess my sins alone in my living hell
[Chorus]
Em D C
I can't escape the harvest of the seeds that I have sewn
Em D C
And I can't deny the justice but how the scales have grown
Am G D
And I'm bein paid exactly what I've earned
Am G F D
And the coldness of reality leaves a scar just like a burn
C6
Which way do I turn
G
Which way do I turn
[Instr. Break]
[Repeat Last Chorus]
