Chords with lyrics
Verse:
G+G
Well I dreamt that I saw Laura Wilson
C majorC
In a vision like we were kids
G+G
I tried to tell her I'm sorry
D MajorD
For leaving the way that I did
G+G
I heard that she married a preacher
C majorC
I saw her picture one time
G+G
I knew I had nothing to offer
G+G D MajorD G+G
For this life is a highway life
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories
C majorC G+G
Lovers that live on the run
C majorC G+G
Heroes that ride like lightning
G+G D MajorD
Hit songs that never get sung
C majorC G+G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards
C majorC G+G
I could right all the things I done wrong
G+G
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,
D MajorD G+G
In the hills of Arkansas
Verse:
G+G
Well theres something that I might do different
C majorC
Some stories that I couldnt change
G+G
Some people I wish I'd known better
D MajorD
Some nights that I just couldn't dream
G+G
I'd spend more time in the sunshine
C majorC
Picking more traveling songs
G+G
Laughing out loud, singing for crowds
G+G D MajorD G+G
Instead of sitting here singing alone
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories
C majorC G+G
Lovers that live on the run
C majorC G+G
Heroes that ride like lightning
G+G D MajorD
Hit songs that never get sung
C majorC G+G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards
C majorC G+G
I could right all the things I done wrong
G+G
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,
D MajorD G+G
In the hills of Arkansas
Verse:
G+G
Well theres places that I've seen in my lifetime
C majorC
Some places I've never been
G+G
Some places I'd love to go back to
D MajorD
Some places I couldnt care less
G+G
Well all of the cities I've traveled
C majorC
And all good people I've known
G+G
The lesson I've learned is
G+G D MajorD G+G
Memories burn all the feelings that lead me back home
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories
C majorC G+G
Lovers that live on the run
C majorC G+G
Heroes that ride like lightning
G+G D MajorD
Hit songs that never get sung
C majorC G+G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards
C majorC G+G
I could right all the things I done wrong
G+G
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,
D MajorD G+G
In the hills of Arkansas
