Lyrics
Guide to Recovery - Cheryl Hodge c.2007
(Vs)
You gave up your heart to chance
You went for the great romance
And somehow it seems you've been undone; you don't know how it happened
You're never the gamblin' type
And yet you gave her a try
And now here you are
You're left high and dry
And that's just how it happened.
(chorus)
Welcome to my world
and please have a chair
Just turn around, child;
You'll see I am there
I've made a best friend out of my despair; and I bring...
The Guide to Recovery
(verse:)
There's always a hill to climb
The mountain looks so sublimb
And yet you still find
Once you have arrived
There isn't any sunshine
I'm tryin' to do small talk
But, hey; I've been around the block
You just need to find that
Love still survives
Somewhere inside your confines
Chorus
