Chords with lyrics

Intro
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb E minorEm E/G# A minorAm

verse 1
A minorAm                DmDm  C majorC
Your life stepped lightly out our hands
   Bb majorBb        C majorC         FF E minorEm E/G# A minorAm
When no one's looking out you understand
                       DmDm  C majorC
Your world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turn
  Bb majorBb           F/AF/A     Gm7Gm7   C majorC
The bottom fell out and our fingers got burned

  A7/C#   Bb7Bb7          Bb7/C Dm7Dm7        Dm7Dm7
And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down
     Bb7Bb7         Bb7/C Dm7Dm7       Dm7/C
Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground
    Gm7Gm7        Gm7/C# Am7Am7    DmDm Dm/C
Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend
    FF              Bb majorBb       F/AF/A Gm7Gm7
In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end

E minorEm E/G# A minorAm

verse 2

A minorAm                DmDm  C majorC
Every new version of the way of life
      Bb majorBb             C majorC         FF E minorEm E/G# A minorAm
Leaves you reckless and searching for stars in the night
A minorAm                    DmDm  C majorC
But whose kid are you when they finally decide
  Bb majorBb           F/AF/A       Gm7Gm7 C majorC
The lifestyle you led and the way that you died


  A7/C#   Bb7Bb7          Bb7/C Dm7Dm7        Dm7Dm7
And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down
     Bb7Bb7         Bb7/C Dm7Dm7       Dm7/C
Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground
    Gm7Gm7        Gm7/C# Am7Am7    DmDm Dm/C
Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend
    FF              Bb majorBb       F/AF/A Gm7Gm7
In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end

verse 3

FF         DmDm FF  Bb majorBb            Bb7Bb7
But they're oh so simple, they're still trying to tell
   G/BG/B            C majorC     FF  E minorEm E/G#
The difference for you between heaven and hell
A minorAm             DmDm      Dm/C
To glorify something, your 🏷Legends are found
G/BG/B              C majorC      C/Bb  C/AC/A E minorEm E/G# A minorAm
But all they bought you was a hole in the ground

verse 4

A minorAm              DmDm  C majorC
Years rolling by just like a dream (ooh)
Bb majorBb            C majorC     FF   E minorEm E/G# A minorAm
I'm partly human and I'm partly machine
                        DmDm  C majorC
They've lost you and fate put your name on a stone (ahh)
  Bb majorBb              F/AF/A      Gm7Gm7 C majorC
Perhaps now my friend they might leave you alone (ahh)

  A7/C#   Bb7Bb7          Bb7/C Dm7Dm7        Dm7Dm7
And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down
     Bb7Bb7         Bb7/C Dm7Dm7       Dm7/C
Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground
    Gm7Gm7        Gm7/C# Am7Am7    DmDm Dm/C
Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend
    FF              Bb majorBb       F/AF/A Gm7Gm7
In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end
