Road To Damascus

CmMidnight on the kitchen floor, counting down the glass,Fm CmChasing down the ghosts of a broken, heavy past.Fm CmShe poured her fears in a silver cup, trying not to feel,G7But the neon lights of the liquor store were the only things that felt real.[Verse 2]CmShe was driving blind through a thunderstorm, running from the shame,Fm CmLiving at the bottom of a bottle, screaming out her name.Fm CmBut the engine died on a lonely stretch, the headlights started to fade,G7Right there on the asphalt, the first time that she prayed.[Chorus] (The music swells, the heavy organ kicks in)Ab BbOh, she’s walking down the Road to Damascus,Eb CmThe blinding light is knocking her down.Ab BbShe’s giving up the ghost in the bottle,Eb CmLeaving her chains on the edge of this town.Ab BbThe storm is clearing, she can finally see...Fm G7The road to Damascus... is where she found peace.[Verse 3] (Rhythm drops to just a quiet piano and voice)CmMorning broke in a quiet room, the shaking finally stopped,Fm CmThe heavy armor she’ve been wearing all these years finally dropped.Fm CmNo more hiding in the shadows, no more running from the truth,G7She traded in the liquid poison... for the well of eternal youth.[Chorus] (Full band explosion, gospel backing vocals join in)Ab BbOh, she’s walking down the Road to Damascus,Eb CmThe blinding light is knocking her down.Ab BbShe’s giving up the ghost in the bottle,Eb CmLeaving her chains on the edge of this town.Ab BbThe storm is clearing, she can finally see...Fm G7 CmThe road to Damascus... is where she found peace.[Outro] (Slowing down, very soulful)Ab BbNo more shaking. No more tears.Eb CmPeace has swallowed all those wasted years.Ab Bb CmShe’s sober... she’s whole... she’s home.(Final sustained Cm chord with a fading organ wheel spin)
