[Intro]
Bm D  G
Bm D  G

[Verse 1]
Bm       D                G
  I must look just like a  fool
Bm            D             G
  Here in the middle of the road
D           A                 G
  Standin' there in your rearview
         Bm                D  G
Gettin' soaked to the bone
Bm                D            G
  This land is as flat as it is  mean
Bm           D               G
  A man can see for hundred miles
D                A             G
  So I'm still prayin' I might see
                 Bm         D  G
The glow of the brake light

[Chorus]
         D
But your wheels just turn
          Bm
Down the road ahead
      G
If it hurts at all
          A
You ain't showed it yet
        D
I keep a-lookin' for
    Bm
The slightest sign
     G
That you might miss
          A
What you left behind
   Em                  D/F#              G
I know there's nothin' stoppin' you now
                       Bm      D  G
But, I'd settle for a slowdown

[Verse 2]
Bm            D            G
   I held on longer than I  should
Bm           D                     G
   Believin' you might change your  mind
D                    A            G
  And those bright lights of Hollywood
      Bm             D  G
Would fade in time

[Chorus]
         D
But your wheels just turn
          Bm
Down the road ahead
      G
If it hurts at all
          A
You ain't showed it yet
        D
I keep a-lookin' for
    Bm
The slightest sign
     G
That you might miss
          A
What you left behind
   Em                  D/F#              G
I know there's nothin' stoppin' you now
                       Bm      D  G
But, I'd settle for a slowdown

[Solo]
Bm D  G

[Chorus 2]
         D
But your wheels just turn
          Bm
Down the road ahead
      G
If it hurts at all
          A
You ain't showed it yet
              D
you're just a tiny dot
           Bm
on that horizon line
      G
c'mon tap those brakes
       A
baby, just one time
   Em                  D/F#              G
I know there's nothin' stoppin' you now
         Em           D/F#        G
I'm not askin' you to turn back around
                  Bm      D  G
I'd settle for a slowdown

[Outro]
             Bm      D  G
C'mon just slowdown
                       Bm      D  G
I'd settle for a slowdown
