[Intro]
| Cmaj7| Am7| Dm9| G7(x2)
[Verse 1]
Well the Cmaj7sun rises behAm7ind you when you Dm9walk a westbound G7road
And the lCmaj7ight sometimes reAm7minds you of someDm9one you used to kG7now
She had Cmaj7eyes that used to Am7trust you like no Dm9eyes you ever kG7new
But there'Cmaj7s something about a Am7highway changes sDm9unshine into G7dew
[Instrumental]
| Cmaj7| Am7| Dm9|G7  
[Verse 2]
Well the Cmaj7darkness is lAm7eaving as the sDm9un comes to the sG7ky
And the dCmaj7ew clings to the Am7barley as the tDm9ears come to your G7eyes
As the nCmaj7ight like all yAm7our friendships must cDm9ome to meet their eG7nds
    Cmaj7You think about the gAm7ood times drinking cDm9offee with your fG7riends
[Bridge]
You see the Cmaj7shadows of your C7past, it was too Dm7beautiful to lDm7b5ast
And the Cmaj7highway keeps on Am7calling you to Dm7followG7  
And the Cmaj7echoes in your mC7ind are fading slDm7owly into tDm7b5ime
But you Cmaj7can't look back and Am7still face your toDm7morrowG7  
[Verse 3]
When a Cmaj7city cannot Am7hold you there is Dm9always somewhere G7else
But if you tCmaj7hink you'll stop your Am7moving, you are Dm9lying to yourG7self
And you Cmaj7look through picture Am7windows and see fDm9amilies in their hG7omes
But as lCmaj7ong as there's a hAm7ighway...  Dm7you will Em7walk alFmaj7oneEm7  
  Dm7You will G7walk alCmaj7one
| Am7| Dm9|G7  
[Outro]
All alCmaj7one and by yourself down the dAm7irty lonesome road the Dm9sun is coming up behiG7nd you
And eCmaj7verything you see by the Am7highway always has a Dm9sad, sad way to remiG7nd you...
| Cmaj7| Am7| Dm9|G7

[Intro]

| | | | (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
