Intro:
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [Am] [F]
[Bb] [F] [C] [Bb] [F] [C]
Life''s[Bb] like a road that you travel on
when there''s[F] one day here and the next day gone
Some[C]times you bend some times you stand
somet[C]imes you turn your back to the wind
There''s a [Bb]world outside every darkened door
where [F]blues won''t haunt you anymore
Where the b[C]rave are free and lovers soar
come [C]ride with me to the distant shore
[Dm]We won''t hesitate, [C]break down the garden gate
[Bb]there''s not much time left t[G]oday
[Dm]Life [C]is a [Bb]highway, [Bb]I [Am]want to [F]ride it
[Bb]all [F]night l[C]ong [Bb] [F][C]
[Dm]If you''re[C] going m[Bb]y way, [Bb] I [Am] want to [F]drive it
[Bb]all n[F]ight [C] long[Bb][F][C]
Through [Bb]all these cities and all these towns
it''s[F] in my blood and it''s all around
I [C]love you now like I loved you then
this [C]is the road and these are the hands
From [Bb]Mozambique to those Memphis nights,
the [F]Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
[C]Knock me down get back up again
you''re[C] in my blood I''m not a lonely man
[Dm]There''s no load I can''t hold, the [C]road so rough this I know
[Bb]I''ll be there when the light comes in, t[G]ell ''em we''re survivors
(Chorus) x2
[Gm]There was a d[Bb]istance between you and I [Dm][C]
[Gm]A misunderstandin[Bb]g once but no[Dm]w we look it in the eye [C]
