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

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


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


Instrumental:

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


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