Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

It's 2 am and pitch black

 And I've got so far to go

 My hands are hangin' from the wheel

 But my mind it only roams

 The sun went down behind the hills

 And the miles are draggin' past

 This highway rolls forever

 But I'm comin' home at last

Refrain

Make it last

 I want to feel the mornin' come

 Make it last

 I want to see the mornin' sun

 I want to fly

 Like an angel in the wind

 Make it last

 'til I'm in your arms again

Verse 2

(same chords as verse 1)

By the highway is a diamond

Glowin' in the night

All along the dark horizon

First sign and crack of light

Up the road I see a hotel

Better pull in off the line

Tomorrow seems forever

But I'll make it home on time

Repeat refrain.

Ridin' 'neath the shotgun moon

 The clouds watch from above

The things we do to keep this life

The things we do for love

The chain they call the highway

 Can nail you like a stone

 What I wouldn't do to have one hour

 To be with you alone

Repeat refrain.

Up ahead I see a woman

I can see her silhouette

It's 4 am, the lights are out

I can see the empty bed

She's starin' out the window

She puts out a cigarette

The night rolls on forever

Like the prairies in the West

Repeat refrain.
