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

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

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

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

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

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

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