Verse 1:
       Bb
Life's like a road that you travel on
        F
There's one day here and the next day gone
    C
Sometimes you bend; sometimes you stand; sometimes you turn your back to the wind
          Bb
There's a world outside every darkened door
      F
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
          C
Where the brave are free and lovers soar, come ride with me to the distant shore
 
Pre-chorus:
Dm                  C
  We won't hesitate to break down the garden gate
Bb                           G
There's not much time left today
 
Chorus:
Dm  C    Bb                       F                C    Bb   C
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
Dm C              Bb            F                  C  Bb C
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long
 
Verse 2:
        Bb
Through all these cities, and all these towns
     F
It's in my blood and in it's all around
  C
I love you now, like I loved you then;
 
This is the road, and these are the hands
     Bb
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
    F
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's Lights
C
Knock me down and back up again
 
You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man
 
Pre-chorus:
Dm                                C
  There's no load I can't hold, a road so rough, this I know
Bb
I'll be there when the light comes in
     G
Just tell 'em we're survivors
 
Chorus:
Dm  C    Bb                       F                C    Bb   C

Bridge:
Gm               Bb              Dm         C
   There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)
Gm              Bb               Dm                    C
   a misunderstanding once, but now we look it in the eye
