[Verse 1]
Flannels and Cripped jeans and GFriday nights
Now all CI see is fiGelds and fences
CRemembering flickering Glights on a EmSunday
Just wanting to feel Dsomething
These Cmemories won't let me be
So I'll Gjust play them back
I see Csummer rain
And that autumn change
It Gall came so fast
CSmell of wood burning
Sparks Gjumping around
I Emthought by now
I'd have it Dall figured out
[Pre-Chorus]
With our Emhoods up
And our Chearts out
I was Gfearless before I Dgot let down
I Cwonder if I could
Get Gback to that place Dnow
[Chorus]
I got Ctwo headlights
And a Gthousand miles to go
EmTwo hundred feet of light
On this Ddark and windy road
CMidnight stars haunt my skies
GBurning scars fill my mind
EmWaiting on a wish to come Dtrue
CMaybe I can find my way
GBack to where I beEmlonDg
Just following Cmy headGligDhtsC  
HeadGligDhts
Maybe CI don't have to Gsee where I'm Dgoing
Just Cfollow my headGligDhts
[Verse 2]
I'm searching Cback roads
For Gwishes and dreams
CLong gone
Ripped at Gthe seams
Whispered a Cquiet prayer in this Gheart of mine
Filled with Emquestions
As big as the DTennessee sky
And Clike ghosts these memories
Just Gfollow me around
LookCing back I never thought that
GI'd leave that town
CAirplanes and shooting stars
Were my Gcompany all along
The Emmoon stayed the same
But those Ddays are long gone
[Pre-Chorus]
With our Emhoods up
And our Chearts out
I was Gfearless before I Dgot let down
I Emwonder if I could
Get Cback to that place Amnow
[Chorus]
I gCot two headlights
And a Gthousand miles to go
EmTwo hundred feet of light
On this Ddark and windy road
CMidnight stars haunt my skies
GBurning scars fill my mind
EmWaiting on a wish to come Dtrue
CMaybe I can find my way
GBack to where I beEmlonDg
Just following Cmy headGligDhtsC  
HeadGligDhts
Maybe CI don't have to Gsee where I'm Dgoing
Just Cfollow my headGligDhts
[Bridge]
EmWith ouEmr hoods up
And our hearts GouDt
I was Emfearless till I got let GdowDn
I Emwonder if I could
Get back to Gthat Dplace nowEm  
That place Gnow
[Chorus]

[Verse 1]

C G

Flannels and ripped jeans and Friday nights

C G

Now all I see is fields and fences

C G Em

Remembering flickering lights on a Sunday

Just wanting to feel something

These memories won't let me be

So I'll just play them back

I see summer rain

And that autumn change

It all came so fast

Smell of wood burning

Sparks jumping around

I thought by now

I'd have it all figured out

[Pre-Chorus]

With our hoods up

And our hearts out

G D

I was fearless before I got let down

I wonder if I could

G D

Get back to that place now

[Chorus]

I got two headlights

And a thousand miles to go

Two hundred feet of light

On this dark and windy road

Midnight stars haunt my skies

Burning scars fill my mind

Em D

Waiting on a wish to come true

Maybe I can find my way

G Em D

Back to where I belong

C G D C

Just following my headlights

[Verse 2]

I'm searching back roads

For wishes and dreams

Long gone

Ripped at the seams

C G

Whispered a quiet prayer in this heart of mine

Filled with questions

As big as the Tennessee sky

And like ghosts these memories

Just follow me around

Looking back I never thought that

I'd leave that town

Airplanes and shooting stars

Were my company all along

The moon stayed the same

But those days are long gone

[Pre-Chorus]

With our hoods up

And our hearts out

G D

I was fearless before I got let down

I wonder if I could

C Am

Get back to that place now

[Chorus]

I got two headlights

And a thousand miles to go

Two hundred feet of light

On this dark and windy road

Midnight stars haunt my skies

Burning scars fill my mind

Waiting on a wish to come true

Maybe I can find my way

And our hearts out

I was fearless till I got let down

I wonder if I could

G D Em

Get back to that place now

That place now

[Chorus]

I got two headlights

And a thousand miles to go

Two hundred feet of light

On this dark and windy road

Midnight stars haunt my skies

Burning scars fill my mind

Em D

Waiting on a wish to come true

Maybe I can find my way

G Em D

Back to where I belong

C G

Maybe I'll be alright

Em D

Maybe I don't have to know

Just following my headlights
