🎸 Intro:

G  Cadd9
G  Cadd9
G  Cadd9
G  Cadd9*




🎸 Verse 1:
       G
So I'm drivin’ up the freeway
D/F#             Em7        Cadd9
Finally on the road and on my way
G

I'm going 90, 95
D/F#                         Em7                   Cadd9
And as the city lights fade
I start to feel more alive
🎸 Pre-Chorus 1:
Em7      D/F#     Cadd9
And he's sleeping sound in the passenger seat
Em7  D/F#     Cadd9
So I ride the center line, avoid the bumps.


🎸 Chorus 1:
   G  Cadd9
And
G  Cadd9     G Cadd9  G  Cadd9*
I let him be


🎸 Verse 2:
G                          D/F#                        Em7
This woman on the radio is singing about her long lost love
Cadd9
And how she makes it on her own
G
My mind begins to wonder
D/F#                         Em7                   Cadd9
I wonder if I'll ever find a place that I can call home.


🎸 Pre-Chorus 2:
Em7   D/F#    Cadd9                 Em7
And I want to talk about the future now
D/F#          Cadd9
But he's sleeping sound
🎸 Chorus 2:
              G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
So I ride the line
G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
And I let him be


🎸 Bridge:
      Cadd9      G          Cadd9     G
And I don't know where this long road ends
Cadd9          G            D/F#                    Em7
Can't remember when we crossed that line between lovers and friends
Cadd9
I need some consolation
Em7            Cadd9
Just give me a conversation
Em7     D/F#             Cadd9*
Tell me that we took the right turn.


🎸 Interlude:
G  Cadd9
G  Cadd9
G  Cadd9
G  Cadd9*


🎸 Verse 3:
G                          D/F#
The sun is going down over sleepy country towns
Em7            Cadd9
  He stirs and looks around
G                                   D/F#
And I start to say something but it comes out as nothing
Em7                      Cadd9
  And he just smiles and goes back down.


🎸 Pre-Chorus 3:
        Em7      D/F#   Cadd9
And the world outside begins to blur
Em7           D/F#         Cadd9
All these things left unsaid make my stomach churn
Em7    D/F#    Cadd9         Cadd9  Cadd9*
And I wonder if I'll ever have the nerve.


🎸 Instrumental:
G  D/F#  Em7  Cadd9


🎸 Outro:
               G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
But I ride the line
G  Cadd9*
And I let him be



Note:  To make it easier to play just play the C chord where you see Cadd9.  Same for
       D/F# here you can play a normal D chord. This will also work.

     * after chord means strike chord once and let it ring.
