Verse 1:
G+G      C majorC           D MajorD             G+G
Well I'm headed back from Dallas, two days gone and gone to hell
G+G   C majorC      G+G     D MajorD        E minorEm
And I can't keep my eyes open–far as I know, just as well
E minorEm   C majorC               G+G          D MajorD
I could make it to a truck stop on the highway across the line
G+G                      D MajorD      G+G
If I can make it back to you, back to you, then I'll be fine

Verse 2:
G+G     C majorC     G+G            D MajorD        G+G
All this sense that I've been makin' makes no sense to me at all
G+G     C majorC         G+G    D MajorD         E minorEm
And the chances I keep takin' up the chances that I'll fall
E minorEm     C majorC               G+G
Into the hole that I've been digging for myself into the dirt
G+G                 D MajorD          G+G
If I can make it back to you then maybe no one will get hurt


Chorus:
      C majorC       G+G
But the headwinds on the highway
G+G    C majorC         G+G
Eighty-five past one more town
    C majorC          G+G
I ain't seen you face since Friday
G+G       (D MajorD)    G+G
Long to set my suitcase down
G+G        C majorC    G+G
We've been holdin' it together
G+G      C majorC     G+G
We've been wakin' up alone
G+G    C majorC        G+G
I can't tell if all this leavin'
G+G
Is worth the bein' gone
G+G
Is worth the bein' gone

Instrumental:
C majorC - G+G – C majorC – G+G – D MajorD - G+G


Verse 3:
G+G    C majorC        G+G          D MajorD        G+G
Well the sunlight in the window, through the blinds, onto the floor
G+G       C majorC       G+G      D MajorD        E minorEm
Makes me realize I've been in those shadow lines sometime before
C majorC         G+G
One small step out of the dark into the light
G+G             D MajorD        G+G
One more, babe, and I can make it back alright


Chorus:
      C majorC          G+G
But the headwinds on the highway
G+G    C majorC         G+G
Eighty-five past one more town
    C majorC          G+G
I ain't seen you face since Friday
G+G       (D MajorD)   G+G
Long to set my suitcase down
G+G     C majorC      G+G
We've been holdin' it together
G+G       C majorC    G+G
We've been wakin' up alone
G+G    C majorC        G+G
I can't tell if all this leavin'
G+G
Is worth the bein' gone
G+G
Is worth the bein' gone
