Verse:
C majorC FF
It's just me and all these stars tonight
C majorC FF
The hone of the engine in my ears
A minorAm FF
I'll make my way back to the city lights
A minorAm FF
Where I've been spending all these years
C majorC FF
The air is prickling at my neck again
C majorC FF
Funny how this road can make you smile
A minorAm FF
With all the memories of the night we spent
A minorAm G+G
The past escapes you for a while
Just for a while

Verse:
C majorC FF
And i'll be waiting on the sunrise
C majorC FF
Not some looks the other way
A minorAm FF
Shed some light on all these changes
A minorAm G+G
Raise the glass to the break of day
A minorAm FF
Tonight I'm taking all the backroads home
C majorC G+G
Just gotta find that peace of mind
A minorAm FF
To face these changes i must face alone
C majorC G+G
Babe i just need a little time
A minorAm
And i walk mostly hopeless
FF
Find some comfort in despair
C majorC
Breed some sense into the senseless
G+G
Taste the sweet summer air
A minorAm
And I will walk with my head out now
FF
And they'll bring me to my knees
C majorC
I will stand up and be selfless
G+G
Shed some light on all this greed
A minorAm
And I’ll take what I'm given
FF
Never ask for nothing more
C majorC
I'll always question and i'll wonder
G+G
Just what the hell we're fighting for
A minorAm
I wont be fading with the sunset
FF
I will drive on through the night
C majorC
And I'll always take the backroads
G+G A minorAm
Till I one day get it right
