This hEmighway's dark and empty.
Just miles and mCiles of endless road.Am

To live without despEmair, and to be without Cdisdain.Am  
How can I instilCl such hoDpe, but be lEmeft with none of my oAmwn?
What if I could siCng just one soDng and it might sEmave somebody's liAmfe?

I was lEmost, I was losCt.Am  
Then the sEmky turned black,
And the raiCns poured down.Am  
I was waiEmting, waiting to be fCound. oh, nAmo.

Capo 5th fret

This highway's dark and empty.

C Am

Just miles and miles of endless road.

I've got a sickness pounding in my head.

C Am

I'm at the mercy of the ghost.

Em C Am

What will it take to live as if I would not another day?

Em C Am

To live without despair, and to be without disdain.

C D Em Am

How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?

C D Em Am

What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?

Em C Am

I sought after, after reasons to stay.

Em C Am

I was lost, I was lost.

Then the sky turned black,

C Am

And the rains poured down.

Em C Am

I was waiting, waiting to be found. oh, no.

C D Em Am

How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?

C D Em Am

What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?

Em C Am

Then I would sing all that I could sing

C D Em Am

Cause that is when, when I feel that I'm not just counting time.

Em C Am

Oh when I sing all that I can sing

C D Em Am

Maybe just for a moment things would seem all right.

C D Em Am

Oh when I sing, oh when I sing

C D Em Am C D Em Am C D Em

Oh when I sing, oh when I sing
