Verse:
E MajorE          A augmentedA        E MajorE
I can still remember every song you played
    E MajorE               A augmentedA
Long ago when we were younger and we rocked the night away.
   E MajorE                A augmentedA         E MajorE
How could I see a future then, where you would not grow old?
   E MajorE              A augmentedA
Such a fire in our belly, such a hunger in souls.
  E MajorE                   BB
I guess I probably loved you when those words rolled off your tongue
C# minorC#m                 A augmentedA
Seemed that we were traveling under some old lucky sun
  E MajorE                     A augmentedA
I know I couldn't save you and no one was to blame
     E MajorE                 BB      E MajorE
But the road we shared together once will never be the same

Chorus:
F#m11/E  BB       E MajorE
  Hey  all along the way
F#m11/E        E MajorE
  Won't be coming 'round again
F#m11/E  BB       E MajorE
  Hey  was a song I played
  EM7             A/EA/E  E MajorE  A/EA/E
And on the wings of a song, I'll fly away.

Verse:
 E MajorE                 A augmentedA       E MajorE
I wandered in the wilderness for a while I was so lost
     E MajorE                A augmentedA
To everything there is a season and every blessing has its cost
  E MajorE                A augmentedA       E MajorE
So I took what you left to me and put it to some use
   E MajorE                 A augmentedA
When looking for an answer with those three chords and the truth.
  E MajorE                 BB
I come down from the mountain I come walking in your shoes.
    C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
I was taken for a gambler when I had no more to lose
    E MajorE                   A augmentedA
For he put me on that path and how could I refuse
  E MajorE                   BB       E MajorE
And I would spend my whole life out here working on the blues

Chorus:
F#m11/E    BB  E MajorE
  Hey hey, hey
F#m11/E E MajorE
  Hey
F#m11/E    BB  E MajorE
  Hey hey, hey
BB  F#m11/E G#m/E F#m11/E B/E
 Hey

Verse:
 E MajorE              A augmentedA       E MajorE
So I carried on, you can't be haunted by the past
 E MajorE            A augmentedA
People come people go and nothing ever lasts
  E MajorE             A augmentedA        E MajorE
But I still think about you, wonder where you are
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
Can you see me from some place up there among the stars?
   E MajorE              BB
But down here under heaven there never was a chart
  C# minorC#m                A augmentedA
To guide our way across this crooked highway of the heart
   E MajorE                     A augmentedA
And if it's only all about the journey in the end
E MajorE                BB      E MajorE
On that road I'm glad I came to know my old friend

Chorus:
F#m11/E  BB       E MajorE
  Hey  all along the way
F#m11/E       E MajorE
  Won't be coming 'round again
F#m11/E  BB       E MajorE
  Hey  was a song I played
  EM7              E MajorE
And on the wings of a song, I'll fly away

Outro:
F#m11/E   E MajorE
  I'll fly away
F#m11/E    E MajorE
  I'll fly away
F#m11/E E MajorE
  Fly
F#m11/E E MajorE
  Oh
