Intro
|Cmaj7 |Am7 |Dm9 |G7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
Well the sun rises behind you when you walk a westbound road
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
And the light sometimes reminds you of someone you used to know
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
She had eyes that used to trust you like no eyes you ever knew
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
But there's something about a highway changes sunshine into dew
[Instrumental]
|Cmaj7 |Am7 |Dm9 |G7
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
Well the darkness is leaving as the sun comes to the sky
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
And the dew clings to the barley as the tears come to your eyes
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
As the night like all your friendships must come to meet their ends
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
You think about the good times drinking coffee with your friends
[Bridge]
Cmaj7 C7 Dm7 Dm7b5
You see the shadows of your past, it was too beautiful to last
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G7
And the highway keeps on calling you to follow
Cmaj7 C7 Dm7 Dm7b5
And the echoes in your mind are fading slowly into time
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G7
But you can't look back and still face your tomorrow
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
When a city cannot hold you there is always somewhere else
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
But if you think you'll stop your moving, you are lying to yourself
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
And you look through picture windows and see families in their homes
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7 Em7
But as long as there's a highway... you will walk alone
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
You will walk alone
|Am7 |Dm9 |G7
[Outro]
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
All alone and by yourself down the dirty lonesome road the sun is coming up behind you
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm9 G7
And everything you see by the highway always has a sad, sad way to remind you...
|Cmaj7 |Am7 |Dm9 |G7
