View chords used in this chart
verse 1
C G
Flannels and ripped jeans and Friday nights
C G
Now all I see is fields and fences
C G Em
Remembering flickering lights on a Sunday
D
Just wanting to feel something
C
These memories won't let me be
G
So I'll just play them back
C
I see summer rain
And that autumn change
G
It all came so fast
C
Smell of wood burning
G
Sparks jumping around
Em
I thought by now
D
I'd have it all figured out
Pre-Chorus
Em
With our hoods up
C
And our hearts out
G D
I was fearless before I got let down
C
I wonder if I could
G D
Get back to that place now
[Refrão] C
I got two headlights
G
And a thousand miles to go
Em
Two hundred feet of light
D
On this dark and windy road
C
Midnight stars haunt my skies
G
Burning scars fill my mind
Em D
Waiting on a wish to come true
C
Maybe I can find my way
G Em D
Back to where I belong
C G D C
Just following my headlights
G D
Headlights
C G D
Maybe I don't have to see where I'm going
C G D
Just follow my headlights
verse 2
C
I'm searching back roads
G
For wishes and dreams
C
Long gone
G
Ripped at the seams
C G
Whispered a quiet prayer in this heart of mine
Em
Filled with questions
D
As big as the Tennessee sky
C
And like ghosts these memories
G
Just follow me around
C
Looking back I never thought that
G
I'd leave that town
C
Airplanes and shooting stars
G
Were my company all along
Em
The moon stayed the same
D
But those days are long gone
Pre-Chorus
Em
With our hoods up
C
And our hearts out
G D
I was fearless before I got let down
Em
I wonder if I could
C Am
Get back to that place now
[Refrão] C
I got two headlights
G
And a thousand miles to go

Two hundred feet of light

On this dark and windy road

Midnight stars haunt my skies

Burning scars fill my mind

Waiting on a wish to come true

Maybe I can find my way
