Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 3]

Intro: / BmA G GF#m D GD A GD A /

Life's like a road that you travel on
There's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore

/ G - / D - / A - / / :

   We won't hesitate
   Break down the garden gate
   There's not much time
   Left today

   / Bm - / A - / G - / Em - /

{Refrain}
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

/ BmA G / GF#m D GD A GD A / :

Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down, I'm back up again
You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man

   There's no load I can't hold
   Road so rough this I know
   I'll be there when the light comes in
   Just tell 'em we're survivors

{Refrain twice}

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once, but now we look it in the eye

/ Em - G - Bm - A - / /

   There ain't no load I can't hold
   Road so rough this I know
   I'll be there when the light comes in
   Just tell 'em we're survivors

{Refrain twice (first time tacet)}
