Intro 

A Amaj7 A6 A C#m  Dmaj7    2x 


[Verso 1]
 
                  A 
Ive been craving highways 
    Amaj7 
And road signs 
    A6 
And parkways 
     A 
And street lights 
     C#m         Dmaj7    
The distance to your house 
            A 
Missing the traffic 
    Amaj7 
The long drive 
    A6 
The music 
    A 
The road lines 
C#m            Dmaj7    
Potholes on the ground 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
              A          Amaj7 
And I feel it deep in my bones 
       A6         A 
I miss feeling at home 
        C#m  Dmaj7    
On your couch 
 


[Refrão]
 
       A                 A              A6                     A

      A        A A6 
Im a long way 
A        C#m  Dmaj7    
From okay 
          A                        A         A6          A       C#m  Dmaj7    
But Ill drive and Ill drive for hours at a time on the highway 
       A         A A6 
Im so far from 
      A         C#m   Dmaj7    
Who I once was 
          Bsus           C#m             Dmaj7                 E6sus 
Youre my green light, my street sign, but Im never getting back home 
                                       A 
My car broke down in the middle of the road 
 


[Verso 2]
 
                  A 
Ive been needing your touch 
    Amaj7 
And your voice 
    A6 
The good luck 
    A 
The good choice 
    C#m                      Dmaj7    
Im crying but Ill swear Im fine 
                   A 
Youre the law Im breaking 
    Amaj7         A6 
The red light Im running 
      A          C#m                     Dmaj7    
Dont look both ways before crossing your mind 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
              A          Amaj7 
And I feel it deep in my car 
        A6         A 
That I gave you my heart 
          #m                       Dmaj7    
And its not your fault its just the world 
 


[Refrão]
 
     A        A A6 
Im a long way 
A        C#m  Dmaj7    
From okay 
          A                        A         A6          A       C#m  Dmaj7    
But Ill drive and Ill drive for hours at a time on the highway 
 


[Ponte]
 
       A          A A6 
Its a long drive 
     A       C#m  Dmaj7    
From alright 
        A 
But Im running the red lights 
A            A6 
Ignoring the stop signs 
      A                          C#m  Dmaj7    
Cause none of it feels right to me 
        Bsus      C#m          Dmaj7    
Cause I know every time that Im behind the wheel 
        Bsus        C#m      Dmaj7    
Ill be looking for you in the passenger seat 
       Bsus       C#m         Dmaj7    
Oh Im missing it watching you fall fast asleep 
       Bsus       C#m        Dmaj7    
In the car passing out next to me 
          Bsus      C#m          Dmaj7    
Breaking down in the middle of the street
