       Em                        Am              G
I was running down the road The fear was all I knew.
       C                                  Am          B7
I was looking for a soul that’s real Then I ran into you.
          Em                        Am             G
And that cherry blossom tree Was a gateway to the sun.
      C                            Am       B7
And friendship once it’s won It’s won. it’s one.

Chorus:
 C   Em   Bm               Am
Northside just across the river to the
 C    Em            Bm       Am
Southside That’s a long way here.
C         Em      Bm       C
All the green and all the gold.
     C        Em        Bm      Am
The hurt you hide, the joy you hold.
     C       Em                 Bm       C
The foolish pride that gets you out the door.
       C          B7        A
Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road.

Sleepwalking down the road Not waking from those dreams.
‘Cause it’s never dead it’s still in my head
It was a warzone in my teens.
I’m still standing on that street Still need an enemy.
The worst ones I can’t see You can. you can.

Chorus

        C      Em      Bm     Am
If the door is open it isn’t theft.
     C       Em                   Bm    Am
You can’t return to where you’ve never left.
  C                Em              Bm            Am
Blossoms falling from a tree they cover you and cover me.
 C
Symbols clashing, Bibles smashing
Bm                  Am
Paint the world you need to see.
  C                   Em         Bm          Am
Sometimes fear is the only place we can call home.
C B7       A
Cedarwood Road.

       Em
And a heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open, open, open
