Tom: C
Intro: G C G C F G C
verse 1:
C G C
It's 2 am and pitch black
F C
And I've got so far to go
F C
My hands are hangin' from the wheel
G F G
But my mind it only roams
C G C
The sun went down behind the hills
F D7
And the miles are draggin' past
C D7
This highway rolls forever
F G C
But I'm comin' home at last
Refrain:
C G
Make it last
F
I want to feel the mornin' come
C G
Make it last
F G
I want to see the mornin' sun
C
I want to fly
F
Like an angel in the wind
C G
Make it last
F G C
'til I'm in your arms again
verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
By the highway is a diamond
Glowin' in the night
All along the dark horizon
First sign and crack of light
Up the road I see a hotel
Better pull in off the line
Tomorrow seems forever
But I'll make it home on time
Repeat refrain.
Am C
Ridin' 'neath the shotgun moon
F Dm7
The clouds watch from above
C G
The things we do to keep this life
C F
The things we do for love
Am C
The chain they call the highway
F Dm7
Can nail you like a stone
C G
What I wouldn't do to have one hour
F G C
To be with you alone
Repeat refrain.
Up ahead I see a woman
I can see her silhouette
It's 4 am, the lights are out
I can see the empty bed
She's starin' out the window
She puts out a cigarette
The night rolls on forever
Like the prairies in the West
