VERSE 2)
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on.
CHORUS 1x
INTRO (with slide guitar)
BRIDGE)
F#m D E A
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
F#m E D
People need some reason to believe
A
I don't know about anyone but me
F#m D E A
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
D E D C#m Bm A F#m E
If I can get you to smile before I leave
VERSE 3)
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
CHORUS 1x
VERSE 4)
D D A D D A
Honey you really tempt me, You know the way you look so kind
D E D C#m Bm A F#m E
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
D E D C#m Bm A F#m E
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
D A/C# D C#m Bm A
Running into the sun but I'm running behind.
