D          A       Bm
Should the canyons burn 
G         D             A
All night long like the 4th of July 
D  G            Bm  A
We won't need an alibi 
  D                G
There's gas in the car 
Bm        A
Hours til sunrise 
D           A       Bm
And there's no guarantee 
  G          D            A
That leaving town's gonna set us both free 
D           G             Bm           A
But staying here it's just not what we need 
D       G             Bm          A
Staying here it's just not what we need

Because America shines yes it does 
G      D             A             Bm        G
In between the white lines where I found love 
      D        A          G          D
All alone on a road going nowhere (nowhere)
      G          D
Going nowhere (nowhere)
      G       D
Going nowhere 
    A
At full speed 


D      A        Bm
I have traveled far 
G              D              A
And I've seen things that I'd rather not say 
D               G             Bm          A
But when you're traveling it's better that way 
D              G          Bm         A
The darker the secret the harder you keep it 
D       A      Bm
But it's no victory 
G     D              A
Always running away like I do 
D        G              Bm           A
I always know that I'll come back to you 
D        G               Bm          A
I always know that I'll come back to you

going nowhere  (nowhere)
        G       D
going nowhere

at full speed

at full speed

I'll be catching a ride off the coast
