when you...                   road for...
                  B(F)

and that...               fly. you...
              B(F)
              highs and...
            F#(C)             C#(G)
           down when...       guiding you home.


outro (like intro)

__________________________________________________________
The original version is in a different key (F) leading to:

Verse F / C / Bb / F C

There's also a slight difference in the chorus:

Chorus F / C / Bb / Bb Am

If you're lazy, just play with capo on 5th instead...
