       C
There's fire in the canyon
Em          Am
Rain on the plain
       F             C
and an eerie kind of sadness
       G7      C
on the highway today
       C
Was it driving together
     Em       Am
That drove us apart
       F            C
Or did we change directions
        G7
chasing arrows and hearts


           Am        G7
We've been wondering alone
         C
Such a long time
Em           F             C
Lose our way we go town to town
  Am             G7
Believe us to be born
          C                 Am
Into a path straight and narrow
    F           G7              C
On every crooked road we travel down


        C 
And I'm checking out the road signs
Em      Am
Highway hotels
          F                C
And their air-conditioned cable-ready
G7
Cold padded cells
       C
And we read them like stories
   Em        Am
In trash magazines
       F            C            G7
But we ain;t really sure what it means


           Am        G7
We've been wondering alone
         C
Such a long time
Em           F             C
Lose our way we go town to town
  Am             G7
Believe us to be born
          C                 Am
Into a path straight and narrow
    F           G7              C
On every crooked road we travel down

  D
I ride this motorway
      F#m
For a thousand miles a day
         G
'Til the road runs outta black top
      A
Or I will this world away
     D
Each town is steeped in rain
  F#m
And I know each one by name
           G
'Cause this world is wrapped around me
      A7                 D
And I wear it like a chain
