Highways And Broken Hearts
View chords used in this chart
G Cadd9
He never knew their names and never really cared
Em D
Lying to himself, he was never just a young kid scared
G Cadd9
Living on his own with no one to hold on to
Em D
Nowhere to go and nothing to do
Cadd9
But lie awake and pray that one day
Cadd9
Someone will come his way
Chorus
G
All he knows are
D
Highways and broken hearts
Em Cadd9
Late nights and old guitars
G D
Wondering where you are
Em D Cadd9
You're so far away
His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best
Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be going next
Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes
It's a good time, but just for the night
Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico
Then off to Colorado
Chorus
Staring through the walls of that motel room
Reflecting on his days, the route that he's seemed to choose
Will good outshine the bad, can he turn this thing around
Should he drop to his knees, just give up now
Begging for release in the night
Has he gone too far to fight?
Chorus
Em D Cadd9
You're so far away
Em D Cadd9
You're so far away
