Fantastic song off of Barenaked Ladies are Me. Certainly one of the greatest Page has ever written.
Standard tuning, no capo.

||CHORDS||
DEm
Side of the road, I stopped and
GA7
Picked up the pieces of your car
DEm
You were just standing, speechless
GA7
Knowing you'd never travel far
GA7DG/B
That's what you do when someone's given up on you
GA7D
And that's when I knew that I was giving up and giving in
GA7
That's when I knew where I was
GA7D
That's when I knew that I was home
DEmG
Stuck in the middle of the road
A7
For better or worse, we compromise
DEm
You may have won my hand, dear
GA7
But it was the consolation prize
GA7DG/B
That's when I knew that I was running out on you
GA7D
That's what you do when time is running out and running down
GA7
That's when I knew where I was
GA7D
That's when I knew that I was home
C#mA
Where does the heart reside
G#C#mG#
If not where I lay my head?
C#mA
I could run but I'm petrified
G#C#m
And choose this instead
G#F#A
Again and again
||SOLO||
You can play this with a pick or fingerstyle if you choose. Both methods sound excellent.

DEm
End of the road I'm running
GA7
And look back to survey where I'd been
DEm
Someday I'll write and ask you
GA7
If you could imagine what I'd seen
GA7DG/B
How could you think that I could turn my back on you?
GA7D
How did you think this would be turning out? And turning 'round
GA7
What could I do but call you?
GA7D
What could I do to call this home?
GA7
That's when I knew where I was
GA7D
That's when I knew that I was home
