E C#m A E



[Verse 1]
E                      C#m
There's a road outside Columbus, Ohio.
A                            E
Feels like I drove along for years.
E                   C#m
This Midwest way of ease it surrounds us.
A                E
I can't deny the rhythm here.
E                       C#m
And as I pull away from Riverside beside me.
A                      E
That High Street never looked so good.
E                   C#m
I miss my lady even though she often writes me.
A                          E
She tells me tales of my neighborhood.



[Chorus]
E         G#m                C#m
Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.
             A          B         E
Four hundred miles from where I'm known.
E              G#m
My friends are here.
         C#m
A couple years I've spent,
  A              B
I found I have a second home.

E C#m A E x2



[Verse 2]
E                      C#m
As I'm blazing down my trail to education.
A                                 E
There's no bliss in ignorance for me.
E                             C#m
I stop and stare, a breath of air might slow me down some.
A                         E
But that's just fine with me.



[Chorus]
E         G#m                C#m
Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.
             A          B         E
Four hundred miles from where I'm known.
E              G#m
My friends are here.
         C#m
A couple years I've spent,
  A              B
I found I have a second home.

F# G#m A C#m B B

                I never traveled far.

F# G#m A C#m B B

                Two hundred miles to go.

F# G#m A C#m B B
                That boulevard 
F# G#m A C#m B B
                will take me home.



[Chorus]
E         G#m                C#m
Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.
             A          B         E
Four hundred miles from where I'm known.
E              G#m
My friends are here.

A couple years I've spent,
  A              B
I found I have a second home.

Four hundred miles from where I'm known.
E              G#m
My friends are here.

A couple years I've spent,
  A              B
I found I have a second home.
