CAPO 1

[A5A5] [A augmentedA]

Every [D MajorD] road
Has a [G+G] story to [D MajorD] tell
Of [G+G] dreams that have [D MajorD] soared
And [G+G] dreams that [A augmentedA] fell

Of finding that [D MajorD] level
That says [G+G] out of con[D MajorD]trol
[G+G] Prospecting [D MajorD] riches
That re[A augmentedA]side in the [D MajorD] soul

CHORUS (abbreviated)
Throw this [G+G] love down the [D MajorD] highway
[G+G] See where it [D MajorD] turns
[G+G] Life is a [D MajorD] shell game
Lessons [A augmentedA] lost, lessons [D MajorD] learned

[A augmentedA]

There will never be a [D MajorD] time
Like the [G+G] time that is [D MajorD] now
To [G+G] reach for the [D MajorD] promise
Of [G+G] melody on the [A augmentedA] bough

Break up the [D MajorD] silence
Make it [G+G] clear, make it [D MajorD] last
[G+G] Forgiveness [D MajorD] given
Break [A augmentedA] away from the [D MajorD] past

CHORUS (full)
Throw this [G+G] love down the [D MajorD] highway
[G+G] See where it [D MajorD] turns
[G+G] Life is a [D MajorD] shell game
Lessons [G+G] lost, lessons [A augmentedA] learned
There's a [G+G] world of [D MajorD] wisdom in[G+G]side a fiddle [D MajorD] tune
Throw this [G+G] love down the [D MajorD] highway
[A augmentedA] See where it takes [D MajorD] you

GUITAR/FIDDLE BREAK

[D MajorD] [G+G] [D MajorD] [A augmentedA]
[G+G] [D MajorD] [G+G] [D MajorD] [G+G] [D MajorD] [A augmentedA] [D MajorD]

[A augmentedA]

While the [D MajorD] mortar and [G+G] bricks may [D MajorD] crumble
[G+G] Time moves [D MajorD] along with a [G+G] dance-step [A augmentedA] stumble
Really no [D MajorD] choice but [G+G] escape from the [D MajorD] past
[G+G] Break up the [D MajorD]silence, make it [A augmentedA] clear make it [D MajorD] last

[A augmentedA] See where it takes [D MajorD] you

Throw this [G+G] love down the [D MajorD] highway
[A augmentedA] See where it takes [D MajorD] you
