Intro: G C G C F G C


verse 1:

C             G     C
It's 2 am and pitch black
         F             C
And I've got so far to go
                     F        C
My hands are hangin' from the wheel
       G            F    G
But my mind it only roams
    C               G        C
The sun went down behind the hills
        F                  D7
And the miles are draggin' past
     C             D7
This highway rolls forever
        F      G       C
But I'm comin' home at last

Refrain:

C            G
Make it last
          F
I want to feel the mornin' come
        C    G
Make it last
          F               G
I want to see the mornin' sun
  C
I want to fly
        F
Like an angel in the wind
        C    G
Make it last
         F       G    C
'til I'm in your arms again

verse 2:  (same chords as verse 1)

By the highway is a diamond
Glowin' in the night
All along the dark horizon
First sign and crack of light
Up the road I see a hotel
Better pull in off the line
Tomorrow seems forever
But I'll make it home on time

Repeat refrain.

Am                C
Ridin' 'neath the shotgun moon
    F                 Dm7
The clouds watch from above
C                   G
The things we do to keep this life
C                    F
The things we do for love
Am                      C
The chain they call the highway
    F               Dm7
Can nail you like a stone
       C              G
What I wouldn't do to have one hour
   F       G   C
To be with you alone

Repeat refrain.

Up ahead I see a woman
I can see her silhouette
It's 4 am, the lights are out
I can see the empty bed
She's starin' out the window
She puts out a cigarette
The night rolls on forever
Like the prairies in the West
