Intro:  G C, G C


(Verse 1)
G                 C
This river of road, 
G                            C
It don't flow like it used to.
G                      C 
But it's more of a home
G                                   C 
Than anywhere that I've ridden it to. 
G                          C
We used to dream together 
G                        C
But now I drink alone. 
G                             C
From the bottle to the tumbler 
G                                     C
Is the only journey left I know. 


          Am       Em       C          G
And in my memories depths I retrace my steps. 
Am        C                      D
I cannot find where I went wrong. 

        Em D      C   Am    G
It was one fast move or I'm gone.

(Verse 2 same as Verse 1)

I found out at an early age I could make anything or plane 

Disappear or cease to exist if I turn my back to it. 

And that the interstates, they don't connect 

Where you are to what you've left. 

And the ghost of our dreams haunt the roads in between. 


       Am               Em           C             G
Though nothing could compare to the love we share 
       Am              C                D
It just didn't have a place to belong. 

         Em D   C    Am    G
It was one fast move or I'm gone. 
Em   D     C        Am         G
One fast move or I'm gone.
Em           C
One fast move or I'm
G              D
One fast move or I'm
Em           C
One fast move or I'm 
G             Bm7
One fast move or I'm 
Em           C
One fast move or I'm
G              D
One fast move or I'm
Em   D    C        Am         G
One fast move or I'm gone.
