[Intro] A A7 A A7 A A7

A                   C#m                            Bm   A7
A bag I filled with all my dreams is all I took along
A                              C#m             Bm  A7
The dream was bound for places I have never known
A                        C#m                       Bm      A7
Broken hearts and lonely tears behind me like the wind, oh, oh
A                     C#m                   Bm
The promisses I never get are hunting me again
      D                     E7
I'm a thousand miles from home
A7             A
Can't find my way again
      D                     E7
I'm a thousand miles from home
A7         A          
I can't go back again

( A7 A A7 A A7 )

A               C#m
A simple life I left behind
Bm                     A7  A7
For cities and their lights
A                   C#m
Those hotels like prison cells
Bm                    A7
Keep me through the night
      D                     E7
I'm a thousand miles from home
A7             A
Can't find my way again
      D                     E7
I'm a thousand miles from home
A7         A         A
I can't go back again
A7        C#m   Bm    A
How is my home, my home
A7              C#m   Bm     A
Leave me on the road, the road
A7        C#m   Bm    A
How is my home, my home
A7              C#m   Bm     A
Leave me on the road, the road
A                        C#m                        Bm A7
Broken hearts and lonely tears behind me like the wind
A            C#m                        Bm  A
Promisses I never get are hunting me again
      D                     E7
I'm a thousand miles from home
A7            A           
Can't find my way again
