 (Bm) I must (D) look just like a (G) fool 
 (Bm) Here in the (D) middle of the (G) road 
 (D) Standin' (A) there in your rear(G)view 
 Gettin' (Bm) soaked to the bone (D) (G) 
 (Bm) This land is as (D) flat as it is (G) mean 
 (Bm) (A) man can (D) see for hundred (G) miles 
 (D) So I'm still pra(A)yin' I might (G) see 
 The glow of the (Bm) brake light (D) (G) 
 
   But your (D) wheels just turn 
   Down the (Bm) road ahead 
   If it (G) hurts at all 
   You ain't (A) showed it yet 
   I keep (D) lookin' for 
   The (Bm) slightest sign 
   That (G) you might miss 
   What you (A) left behind 
   I (Em) know there's nothin' (D/F#) stoppin' you (G) now 
   But, I'd settle for a (Bm) slowdown (D) (G) 
 
 (Bm) I held on (D) longer than I (G) should 
 (Bm) Believin' (D) you might change your (G) mind 
 (D) And those bright (A) lights of Holly(G)wood 
 Would (Bm) fade in time (D) (G)

   But your (D) wheels just turn 
   Down the (Bm) road ahead 
   If it (G) hurts at all 
   You ain't (A) showed it yet 
   You're just a (D) tiny dot 
   On that (Bm) horizon line 
   Come on (G) tap those brakes 
   Baby (A) just one time 
   I (Em) know there's nothing (D/F#) stopping you (G) now 
   I'm not (Em) asking you to (D/F#) turn back ar(G)ound 
   I'd settle for a (Bm) slowdown (D) (G) 
   Come on just (Bm) slowdown (D) (G) 
   I'd settle for a (Bm) slowdown (D) (G)
