Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels  
D                   D     A               D             D-A

VERSE 2  
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive  
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive  
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and called the road my own  
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on.  

Chorus 1x  

INTRO (with slide guitar)  

BRIDGE  

F#m                  D     E             A  
   Everyone I know,  everywhere I go  
F#m                          E                   D  
   People need some reason to believe  
                       A  
   I don't know about anyone but me  
F#m                   D      E               A  
   If it takes all night,  that'll be all right  
D                     E                           D   C#m    Bm  A    F#m  E  
  If I can get you to smile before I leave  

VERSE 3  
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels  
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels  
I look around for the friends I used to turn to to pull me through  
Looking into their eyes I see them running too  

Chorus 1x

D                D     A                 D                 D A  
Honey you really tempt me,  You know the way you look so kind  
D                     E                      D   C#m    Bm  A    F#m  E  
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind  
D                     E                      D   C#m    Bm  A    F#m  E  
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find  
D                A/C#                       D   C#m    Bm  A  
Running into the sun but I'm running behind.
