Tom: G

Intro: G 
 
Verse 1: 
(G)           D        C               G 
Blue Kentucky highway, headin' for the line 
                  D                       C                         G 
She hadn't said a word all night, but the wheels are turning in her mind 
                 C                                   G 
Now I was ridin' shotgun, and I knew things had gone awry 
                    A 
Just as soon as she dropped me off at the side of the road 
        D 
And she let that gravel fly 
 
Chorus: 
(D)                    G 
Now I'm walking in the moonlight 
                       C 
Seein' nothin' but the taillights 
G                Em 
That's a pair of taillights 
      A         D 
I may never see again 
                  G 
She hit me with a left and right 
                           C 
Showin' me nothin' but the taillights 
G               Em          A  
That's about as lonely as a highway has ever been 
C                 D                G 
Back here with my thumb out in the wind 
 
Verse 2: 
(G)                     D           C                     G 
Was it something that I did to her, or the things I never said 
                D           C              G 
I wonder if the way we were was only in my head 
                      C                                 G 
Now if I even make it back to town before the sun comes up 
              A 
I'm gonna hit every parking spot around 
        D 
'Till I find that pickup truck 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
(G)       C 
Well I'll bet right now she's laughin' at how 
    A 
She brought me to my knees 
        C                                       D 
But she won't be laughin' half as loud when she gives me back my keys 
 
Repeat Chorus
