CAPO 3
Tabbed by: Emrldeyzs
INTRO: A
A
Down at the lost highway cafe
D
I met a man there with a map in his hand
E
He said "I'm a little bit confused,
A
And I'm not sure where I am"
A
He said I'm trying to find this place
D
Been trying to get there for a long, long time
E
Then he smiled and looked away,
A
and asked me if I'd heard of happiness
[Refrão] D
I told him that it just might take a while
A
Maybe some years, and a lotta miles
Bm D
Go down the road to you hit partyville
A
Don't stop unless you're lookin' for cheap thrills
D
Go past love til you hear wedding bells
A
Stop and honeymoon, and rest a spell
Bm Bm D
You might get lost on the way is my guess
E A
It ain't easy finding happiness
BREAK: A Bm D E A
VERSE:
A
He said I think I understand
D
I better go before the sun goes down
E
Cause it's hard to see at night,
A
And I just don't trust my eyes anymore
A
I said "goodluck" and watched him leave,
D
He hit the fastlane, then he disappeared
E
Just another weary traveler
A
like so many trying to find his way back home
[Refrão] D
There's so many stops along the way
A
You keep on hoping that there'll come a day
Bm D
I should have told him but I think he knows
A
So many places where he shouldn't go
D
So many souls that get turned around
A
Lookin' and wonderin' why it can't be found
Bm Bm D
It's a straight shot past loneliness
E A
Why can't we seem to find happiness?
Bm Bm D
It's easy to get turned around I guess
E A D A
On the road to happiness
