Intro:
A A A A
Verse 1:
A A C#m
I woke up from a dream
D A
With a sinking feeling
Bm F#m Esus A /E E7
That it all had just been a dream
A C#m
I stood high on the mountain
D A
Overlooking the valley
Bm F#m Esus D
My friends and my family were there
C#m F#m
And nobody cared about all that was broken
Esus D
That could not be repaired
Verse 2:
A C#m
There were times in my life
D A
When I had all the answers
Bm F#m
I moved like a dancer
Esus A /E E7
Light on my feet
A C#m
But the years are not kind
D A
Time is cruel master
Bm F#m Esus D
She makes a fool out of me
Pre-Chorus:
D C#m
Now I finally see
F#m Esus Dsus2
That all I was missing was right in front of me
Chorus:
F#m C#m
All the cars, headlights on the highway
D A
People come and people go
F#m C#m
All my life, I thought I was driving
D Esus A
But these days I don't know
Instrumental:
C#m D E Esus E
Verse 3:
A C#m
There are songs I've been singing
D A
Since I was a child
Bm F#m Esus A /E E7
They made me a living but couldn't make me a man
A C#m
And that's just what was promised
D A
Way back at the crossroads
Bm F#m E D
Where Robert Johnson sold his soul
C#m
Little did he know
C#m F#m Esus B9 /D#
No matter how much you like it, it's only rock and roll
Chorus:
F#m C#m
All the cars, headlights on the highway
D A
People come and people go
F#m C#m
All my life, I thought I was driving
D E A A /G#
But these days I don't know
F#m C#m
All the cars, headlights on the highway
D A
People come and people go
F#m C#m
All my life, I thought I was driving
Ending:
D E A
But these days I don't know
D E A
But these days I don't know
