Chris LeDoux
Life Is A Highway
Written By: Tom Cochrane
Intro:  
Dm    C    Bb        Bb    Am     F
Bb    F    C         Bb    F      C
       Bb
Life''s like a road that you travel on  
             F
when there''s one day here and the next day gone  
    C
Sometimes you bend some times you stand  
     C
sometimes you turn your back to the wind  
     Bb
There''s a world outside every darkened door  
      F
where blues won''t haunt you anymore  
     C
Where the brave are free and lovers soar  
     C
come ride with me to the distant shore  
Dm               C
We won''t hesitate, break down the garden gate  
Bb             G
there''s not much time left today  
Dm     C    Bb        Bb      Am      F
Life   is a highway,  I       want to ride it         
Bb     F      C         Bb    F      C
all    night long        
Dm        C       Bb     Bb    Am       F
If you''re going my way,  I     want to drive it  
Bb    F    C         Bb    F      C
all  night  long
        Bb
Through all these cities and all these towns  
     F
it''s in my blood and it''s all around  
  C
I love you now like I loved you then  
     C
this is the road and these are the hands  
     Bb
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights,  
    F
the Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights  
C
Knock me down get back up again  
       C
you''re in my blood I''m not a lonely man  
Dm                         C
There''s no load I can''t hold, the road so rough this I know  
Bb                         G
I''ll be there when the light comes in, tell ''em we''re survivors  
(Chorus) x2 
Gm       Bb            Dm        C
There was a distance between you and I 
Gm        Bb           Dm                  C
A misunderstanding once but now we look it in the eye  
Intro  
Dm                         C
There''s no load I can''t hold, the road so rough this I know  
Bb                         G
I''ll be there when the light comes in, tell ''em we''re survivors 
(Chorus) x3
