[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
GWell I'm Cheaded back from GDallas, two days Dgone and gone to Ghell
And I Ccan't keep my eyes Gopen–far as I know, just as Emwell
I could Cmake it to a truck stop on the Ghighway across the line
If I can Gmake it back to you, back to Dyou, then I'll be Gfine
[Verse 2]
GAll this Csense that I've been Gmakin' makes no Dsense to me at Gall
And the Cchances I keep Gtakin' up the Gchances G/F#that I'll Emfall
Into the Chole that I've been digging for myGself into the dirt
If I can make it back to you then maybe Dno one will get Ghurt
[Chorus]
But the Cheadwinds on the GhighwayC/G  G  
Eighty-Cfive past one more GtownC/G  G  
I ain't Cseen you face since GFridayC/G  G  
Long to Gset my suitcase down
We've been Choldin' it toGgether
We've been Cwakin' up aGloneC/G  G  
I can't Ctell if all this Gleavin'
Is Gworth the bein' gone
Is Gworth the bein' goneC/G  G  C/G  G  C/G  G  D  G  
[Verse 3]
Well the Csunlight in Gthe window, through the blDinds, onto the flGoor
Makes me Crealize I've been Gin those shadow Glines someG/F#time beEmfore
COne small step out of the Gdark into the light
GOne more, babe, and I can Dmake it back alGright
[Chorus]
But the Cheadwinds on the GhighwayC/G  G  
Eighty-Cfive past one more Gtown
I ain't Cseen you face since GFriday
Long to Gset my suitcase down
We've been Choldin' it toGgether
We've been Cwakin' up aGlone
I can't Ctell if all this Gleavin'
Is Gworth the bein' gone
GIs worth the bein' goneC/G  G

C/G

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

G C G D G

Well I'm headed back from Dallas, two days gone and gone to hell

C G Em

And I can't keep my eyes open–far as I know, just as well

C G

I could make it to a truck stop on the highway across the line

G D G

If I can make it back to you, back to you, then I'll be fine

[Verse 2]

G C G D G

All this sense that I've been makin' makes no sense to me at all

C G G G/F# Em

And the chances I keep takin' up the chances that I'll fall

C G

Into the hole that I've been digging for myself into the dirt

D G

If I can make it back to you then maybe no one will get hurt

[Chorus]

C G C/G G

But the headwinds on the highway

C G C/G G

Eighty-five past one more town

C G C/G G

I ain't seen you face since Friday

Long to set my suitcase down

C G

We've been holdin' it together

C G C/G G

We've been wakin' up alone

C G

I can't tell if all this leavin'

Is worth the bein' gone

G C/G G C/G G C/G G D G

Is worth the bein' gone

[Verse 3]

C G D G

Well the sunlight in the window, through the blinds, onto the floor

C G G G/F# Em

Makes me realize I've been in those shadow lines sometime before

C G

One small step out of the dark into the light

G D G

One more, babe, and I can make it back alright

[Chorus]

C G C/G G

But the headwinds on the highway

C G

Eighty-five past one more town

C G

I ain't seen you face since Friday

Long to set my suitcase down

C G

We've been holdin' it together

C G

We've been wakin' up alone

C G

I can't tell if all this leavin'

Is worth the bein' gone

G C/G G

Is worth the bein' gone
