G                                    D
Redlights are flashing on a highway, I wonder if we're gonna ever get home


C/G                                     G
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight


G                                     C/G
Everywhere the water's getting rough, your best intentions may not be enough


D                                       G
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight


           C/G                            G
But if you break down, I'll drive out and find you


          C/G                         G
If you forget my love, I'll try and remind you


         Asus4  A                    C/G     G
And stay by you   when it don't come easy, mmmmm



I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time gets moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction

But if you break down, I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy, when it don't come easy


D                        C/G        G
So many things that I've had before, they don't matter to me now


D                     C/G                        G
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost and the love I've never found


Asus4             A         C/G
And when the last bird falls    and the last siren sounds


G                                         D                         C/G
Someone will say what's been said before, it's only love that we're looking for


But if you break down, I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy
