The Road

D 
This life goes by so damn fast 
G 
It feels just like a blur 
         A 
Of the places we just drove on past 
D 
The people that we were. 
D                                    G 
I set cruise control on my soul for way too long 
                A 
And like the pavement paves the road with strength 
    D 
our love it just stayed strong. 

        G                                        D 
And I look back on all the choices that I made 
          G                          D 
with so many exits off this highway. 
          A                                        Bm 
When the weight of the world can be a heavy load 
                  A                     D 
I'll stay with you, here on the road.

D 
Now I've had a little and I've had a lot 
G 
Sometimes deserved the things I got. 
   A                                                     
I fought like a fool for what I thought was gold. 
D 
Told myself how it was gonna be 
  G 
but most times you can't change a thing 
        A 
So we promised to wear each other's ring 
D 
until we both grow old. 
  
            G                                            D 
And now I think back on all the choices that you made 
          G                         D 
with so many exits off this highway. 
          A                                         Bm 
When the weight of the world can be a heavy load 
                   A                    D 
I'll stay with you, here on the road. 
                   A                    D 
I'll stay with you, here on the road. 

D, G, A

D 
Pictures on the dashboard 
          G 
of the ones we'll leave behind. 
    A 
The seeds we planted on our way 
D 
towards the finish line. 
      D 
So I thank you now for everything, 
   G 
I thank you for this life. 
     A 
And though we've seen some ups and downs, 
      G           A 
it's been one hell of a ride. 


       G                                           D 
And I think back on all the choices that we made 
          G                         A 
with so many exits off this highway. 
            G                                      D 
When the cold dark night can feel so all alone 
                   A                    D 
I'll stay with you, here on the road. 
                   A                    Bm      G 
I'll stay with you, here on the road. 
                A                       A G Em D 
Just me and you, here on the road
