[G]He never knew their names and never [Cadd9]really cared
Lying to [Em]himself, he was never just a [D]young kid scared
[G]Living on his own with no one to [Cadd9]hold on to
[Em]Nowhere to go and [D]nothing to do
[Cadd9]But lie awake and pray that one day
[Cadd9]Someone will come his way
CHORUS
All he [G]knows are
Highways and b[D]roken hearts
[Em]Late nights and o[Cadd9]ld guitars
[G]Wondering w[D]here you are
You're [Em]so f[D]ar a[Cadd9]way
His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best
Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be going next
Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes
It's a good time, but just for the night
Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico
Then off to Colorado
CHORUS
Staring through the walls of that motel room
Reflecting on his days, the route that he's seemed to choose
Will good outshine the bad, can he turn this thing around
Should he drop to his knees, just give up now
Begging for release in the night
Has he gone too far to fight?
CHORUS
You're [Em]so f[D]ar a[Cadd9]way
You're [Em]so f[D]ar a[Cadd9]way
Lying to [Em]himself, he was never just a [D]young kid scared
[G]Living on his own with no one to [Cadd9]hold on to
[Em]Nowhere to go and [D]nothing to do
[Cadd9]But lie awake and pray that one day
[Cadd9]Someone will come his way
CHORUS
All he [G]knows are
Highways and b[D]roken hearts
[Em]Late nights and o[Cadd9]ld guitars
[G]Wondering w[D]here you are
You're [Em]so f[D]ar a[Cadd9]way
His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best
Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be going next
Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes
It's a good time, but just for the night
Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico
Then off to Colorado
CHORUS
Staring through the walls of that motel room
Reflecting on his days, the route that he's seemed to choose

You're [Em]so f[D]ar a[Cadd9]way
You're [Em]so f[D]ar a[Cadd9]way
