Lost Highway    (intro)    (sample)

 

    G - C - Em - D (4x)

 

     G

1. In my rearview mirror my life is getting clearer,

          Em                                             C

    the sunset sighs and slowly disappears.

                 G

    These trinkets once were treasure, life changes like the weather

                   Em                                                            C

    you grow up, grow old, or you hit the road 'round here.

 

              D                        C

    So I drive, watching white lines passing by,

                    D                                     F

    with my plastic dashboard Jesus waiting there to greet us.

 

          C     G        Em            D   - C                   G      Em      D

Hey hey, I finally found my way,       said goodbye to yesterday,

C              G             Em         D                   C     G   Em  - D          

    hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway.

                  C          G            Em         - D - C         G        Em             - D

Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin' go              out on this open road,

C        G          Em            - D              F             C

    it's independence day        on this lost highway.

 

              C       - G - Em - D

     Hey hey !                            (2x)

 

      G

2. Don't know where I'm going, but I know where I've been,

    Em                                     C

    I'm afraid of going back again.

 

              D                        C

    So I drive, years and miles are flying by,

              D                                              F

    and waiting there to greet us is my plastic dashboard Jesus.

            C       - G - Em - D  - C - G - Em - D

             G                                        Em

    Oh, patron saint of lonely souls, tell this boy which way to go,

      G                                                           Em

    guide the car, you've got the keys, farewell to mediocrity,

     G                                                 Em

    kicking off the cruise control, and turning up the radio

           G                                        C

    got just enough religion and a half a tank of gas,

               C          D

    come on, let's go !

 

C     G        Em            D   - C                   G      Em      D

     I finally found my way,       said goodbye to yesterday,

C              G             Em         D                   C     G   Em  - D          

    hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway.

                  C          G            Em         - D - C         G        Em             - D

Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin' go              out on this open road,

C        G          Em            - D              F             C

    it's independence day        on this lost highway.

 

             C       - G - Em - D

+ Hey hey !                            (3x)

                 C           Em

    On this lost highway.
