[Cm]
I'm sitting down by the highway, [F]
down by the highway [C] side
[F]
Everybody's going somewhere, riding just as fast as they can [C] ride
I
[G] guess they've got a lot to do [Am] before they [F] can rest assured [C] their lives [G]
are [F] justified
Pray to [C] God for me, [F] baby, he can [Gm] let me [C] slide
[G]
[C] Cause I've been up and down this highway, [F] far as my eyes can [C] see
No
[F] matter how fast I run, I can never seem to get away from [C] me
[G] No matter where I am, [Am] I can't help [F] feeling I'm just [C] a day away [G] from where I wanna [F] be
Now I'm running [C] home, baby, [F] like a river [C] to the sea
[G] Baby, if you can [C] see me, out [F] across this wilderness
[C] There's just one thing [G]
I was hoping you might guess
Baby, you [Am] can free me, all [F] in the power of your [G] sweet
[C] tenderness
[Dm] I
[C] [G]
[C] can see it in your eyes,
[F] you've got those bright veins
[C]
[F] You don't see what you've got to gain, you don't like to [C] lose
[G] You watch yourself from the sidelines, [Am] like your life is [F] a game
You don't [C] mind playing, [G] to keep yourself [F] amused
I don't mean to [C] be cruel, baby, [F] but you're a little [C] confused
[G] Baby, if [C] you can hear me, turn down [F] your radio
Cause [C] there's just one thing [G] I want you to know
When [Am] you've been near me, [C] I have self [F]-love, [G] stirred in my [C] soul
Cause [F]
[C] [G]
[C]
[F]
[C] I'm in love, and I can't seem to get away
[F] I'm [C]

[C] [G] Baby,
[F] if you can see me, [G] [C] I can't help feeling [F] I'm just a day [G]
away from where I [C] wanna be
It's [G]
[C] so hard to come by
[F] That feeling [C] of peace
This friend of mine [F] said
Close your eyes
And try to feel [C] me
I
[G] could burn
[Am] So far [F] above my sorrow
But [C] when I look down
I [G] will stand on my [F] knees
Now I [C] need someone to help me
[F] Someone help me
[C] And [G]
if you [C] need me
Like [F] I know I need you
There's [C] just one thing
[G] I'll ask you to do
