VERSE 1

         C
There's fire in the canyon
 Em           Am
Rain on the plain
        F             C
and an eerie kind of sadness
        G       C
on the highway today

        C
Was it driving together
      Em       Am
that drove us apart
     F            C
But do we change directions
         G
chasing arrows and hearts


CHORUS

            Am       G
We've been wandering alone
         C
such a long time
 Em              F             C
lose our way as we go town to town

 Am             G
Leave us to be born
C          C/B     Am
Into a path straight and narrow
     F            G              C
On every crooked road we travel down

VERSE 2

          C
And I'm checking out the road signs
 Em      Am
Highway hotels
           F               C            G           C
And their air-conditioned cable-ready cold padded cells
         C
And we read them like stories
     Em        Am
In trash magazines
    F            C            G
We ain't really sure what it means


CHORUS

            Am       G
We've been wandering alone
         C
such a long time
 Em              F             C
lose our way as we go town to town

 Am             G
Leave us to be born
C           C/B      Am
Into a path straight and narrow
     F            G              C
On every crooked road we travel down

BRIDGE

   D
I ride this motorway
       F#m
For a thousand miles a day
          G
Till the road runs out of black top
       A
Or I will this world away
      D
Each town is steeped in rain
   F#m
I know each one by name
             G
Cause this road is wrapped around me
       A               D
And I wear it like a chain
