Am                    G 
You must be lost in a faraway land 
Em                       F 
I searched forever, your footprints in 
The sand 
Dm                  Em 
I feel you need me, I have to answer 
F                          G 
That desperate call that I do not 
Understand 

Am                G 
A burning bridge, a lonely highway 
Em                 F 
Another dark night thinking alone 
Dm                      Em 
What could've happened, am I just 
Dreaming 
F                             G 
It doesn't matter but there's one thing 
That I know 

 

          Am      G6     Am Am A2 
If I could make it to the border 
 Am  A2  Am  Am  A2  Am  A2

If I could make it to the coast 
 F2  F  F  F2  F  F2 
           C       G6     Am 
If I could make it to the border 
      F                         G 
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love 
The most

G              Am 
Make it to the border 
 

Am           G 
So on and on I keep on running 
Em                 F 
To make the border before the light 
Dm                   Em 
Just one more river, then I can make it 
F                     G 
Again you'll be in my arms tonight

The most
