 This a poem I wrote called "This Road I Know"

[Verse]
F             C
 There's this flash I get often,
        G                         Am7
a fever dream or a vision of sorts
           F
Most times late at night
C
And I haven't found out why,
      G               Am7
but I know exactly why
                      F
I'm on this road, and I hear gravel underneath me,
    C
and I feel it too
            G
And I don't know where I am,
                           Am7
but I know exactly where I am
F                C
 It's dark, it's really dark
And the car is warm,
    G                               Am7
but somehow I can feel how cold the night is
                       F
I don't know where the road leads,
                   C
but I know exactly where it ends
G Am7                F
     You see, I keep driving,
                      C
and all I see for the longest while is my headlightsr
G           Am7
 For an eternity it seems
F                              C
And everything is desolate and empty and nothing and
hopeless
G Am7
     I'm lost,
      F
but I know where I'm going
              C
I'm safe, I'm warm, I'm driving
G                          Am7
 And I see this small light
                  F                              C
A dim one growing brighter and bigger and closer and
stronger
G                                 Am7
 And the closer I get, the more I see
  F                                   C
I make out a house with light strewn across it, a porch,
and cars
G             Am7
 Some frosted windshields that hadn't been touched for
hours
F C
  I hear a song, and it's faint
      G
And I can't make out the name,
                     Am7
but I know every word
          F
I feel my feet first
C
And it's cold, and they're crunching,
             G                 Am7
and it's the sound of driveways
             F                      C
And the wind takes my breath with it
                           G
And then I walk up to this door,
                                       Am7
and I knock even though I feel I don't have to
F
And I don't know where I am,
    C
but I know exactly where I am
G                          Am7
 And this crack of light widens on this porch underneath me
        F         C
as this door opens
                                             G
And this brownhaired girl with the brightest smile
Am7
I  don't know who she is,
but I know her so well
F      C
 And behind her,
                          G
the warmest home I'd ever seen
      Am7
It's orange and comfortable, there's fire,
F               C
and it's bulblit
G        Am7
 She says
                F                                   C
"Where have you been? We've been waiting on you all night
We've missed you"
G    Am7                                   F
 She says to the kindest smirk I'd seen in so long
                C
Then she tapers off the sentence with the
                  G
With the peaceful sound that a lady makes
Am7             F
   She grabs me on the forearms,
                      C
pulls softly into the dining room
G                                Am7
 And there's people, and they're happy,
and they're content for one
F
 I don't know who they are,
           C
but I know exactly who they are
And we're all standing,
G                                     Am7
and I'm laughing at a joke I'll never hear again
                   F
I don't know where I am,
but I know exactly where I am
C                                       G
 And then she tucks her head between my collar as a friend
Am7
   Between my collar and my jaw,
F
 and there's no weight at all
C
 And I don't know where I am,
            G
but there's no weight at all
     Am7                                F
It's laughter and grins and no tomorrow to win
And I don't know where I am,
           C
but I know exactly where I am
G
 I don't know where I am,
but I know exactly where I
