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 at [F] the mercy of the [Dm] ghost
What will it take to [Am] live
As if I would not [F] another day
[Dm] To live without despair
[Am]
And to be [F] without [Dm] disdain
How can [F] I instill
[G]
[A] Such hope
But [E] be left with none of [Dm] my own
What if I could sing
[G] Just one [G] song
[A] And it might [Am] save
[D] Somebody's life
[Am]
I sought after
After [F] reasons to stay
[Dm]
I was [Am] lost
I was [F] lost
I was lost
[Dm] Then the [Am] sky turned black
And [F] the rains poured [Dm] down
I [A] was waiting
[Am] Waiting to be [F] found Oh [Dm] no
How can I [F] instill
Such [G] hope
[Am] But be left with none of [Dm] my own
What if I [F] could sing
Just [G] one song
And it [A] might save [Am] [D] Somebody's life
[A] And I would say
All that I could [Dm] say
[F] That is when
When [G] I feel that I'm not just [D] counting lies
Oh, [Am] and I say
[D]
[Dm] Let [F] it just
[G] For the moment
Empty [D] my mind
[F] And I say, [G] oh, and [A] I say, [D] [Dm] yeah
