Am                    G
You must be lost in a faraway land
Em                       F
I searched forever, your footprints in the sand
Dm                  Em
I feel you need me, I have to answer
F                          G
That desperate call that I do not understand
Am                G
A burning bridge, a lonely highway
Em                 F
Another dark night thinking alone
Dm                      Em
What could've happened, am I just dreaming
F                             G
It doesn't matter but there's one thing that I know
[Chorus]
           Am      G6     Am Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Am Asus2 Am Asus2
If I could make it to the border

So on and on I keep on running

Just one more river, then I can make it
F                     G
Again you'll be in my arms tonight
