This highway is dark and empty
Just [F] miles and miles of endless road
[Dm]
I've got a sickness [Am] pounding in my head
I'm [F] at the mercy of the ghost
[Dm]
What would it take [A] to [Am] live?
As if I would not [F] another day
[Dm]
To live without despair
[Am] To be
[F] without disdain
[Dm] [Dm]
How can [F] I [G] instill such hope
[A] But be
[Am] left with nothing?
[Dm] What if I [F] could sing [G]
just one song
And it might [Em] save [Am] [D] somebody's life
[Am]
I sought after, after [F] reasons to stay
[Dm]
I was
[Am] lost
I was [F] lost
[Dm]
Then the [Am] sky turned black
And [F] the rain poured [Dm] down
I was [A] [Am] waiting
Waiting to be [F]
found
Oh [Dm] no
How can I [F] instill such [G] hope
But [Am] be left with none of my [Dm]
own
What if I [F] could sing [F] just one [G] song
And it [Am] might save
[A] somebody's [D] life
And when I would sing
[Am] All that I could [Dm] say
[D] [Dm] Was [F] that it's when
When I [G] feel that I'm not looking down
[D]
Oh, [Bm] when I [Am] say
[A]
[D] I say
[Dm]
[D] May [F] it just
For [G] the moment
Be seen [D] on my
Oh, [F] when I say
