Down a dirty  road

Started out      
Fmaj7  C     Am  G Gsus4 G
All    alone

Verse:
        Fmaj7    C    Am  G Gsus4 G
And the sun went down   
     Fmaj7       C    Am  G Gsus4 G
As I crossed the hill
        Fmaj7  C      Am  G Gsus4 G

Is the hardest thing

Verse:

May not return
            Fmaj7       C    Am  G Gsus4 G
Yes and the rocks might melt    
        Fmaj7   C    Am  G Gsus4 G
And the sea may burn
