G#m E
You see this writing on the wall
G#m F#
Oh, angel, you see this curtain fall
G#m E
Good times seem so far away
G#m F#
Just a memory, old and grey
B E
And there was no one like you
F# B E
You rip apart the clouds in all my days
F# E
Others all fade away
F# G#m
On this long highway
E
Mesmerising
F# G#m
Long highway
E
Paralysing
F# G#m E
Long highway
G#m E
And you may find your place to run to
G#m F#
In winter frosts, your bed to climb to
F# E
But I have seen down deep inside you
G#m F#
They won't love you quite like I do
G#m E
Look around, something real
B
Touch something you can feel
F#
I found my dreams were ordinary
E
Let me turn to sand
G#m
Still will be waiting for you
F#
Still, it will be there
B E
In the color of rose in the sky
F# B E
In the ever-steady glow of your eye
F# E
Let it all fade away
F# G#m
Long highway
E
Mesmerising
F# G#m
Long highway
E
Paralysing
F# G#m E
I'm on my way
C#m
So, looking back
G#m F#
You with your hands on your face
Did I drift into your mind?
Did I find a place?
E
All that we had here,
F# E
Did it happen everyday?
F# G#m
Long highway
E
Terrorising
F# G#m
When I call your name
E
You stand before me
F# G#m E
Hear me roar
F# G#m E
Hear me roar
F# G#m E
Hear me roar
