D
D
This life goes by so damn fast
G
It feels just like a blur
A
Of the places we just drove on past
D
The people that we were.
D G
I set cruise control on my soul for way too long
A
And like the pavement paves the road with strength
D
our love it just stayed strong.
G D
And I look back on all the choices that I made
G D
with so many exits off this highway.
A Bm
When the weight of the world can be a heavy load
A D
I'll stay with you, here on the road.
D
D
Now I've had a little and I've had a lot
G
Sometimes deserved the things I got.
A
I fought like a fool for what I thought was gold.
D
Told myself how it was gonna be
G
but most times you can't change a thing
A
So we promised to wear each other's ring
D
until we both grow old.
G D
And now I think back on all the choices that you made
G D
with so many exits off this highway.
A Bm
When the weight of the world can be a heavy load
A D
I'll stay with you, here on the road.
A D
I'll stay with you, here on the road.
D, G, A
D
D
Pictures on the dashboard
G
of the ones we'll leave behind.
A
The seeds we planted on our way
D
towards the finish line.
D
So I thank you now for everything,
G
I thank you for this life.
A
And though we've seen some ups and downs,
G A
it's been one hell of a ride.
G D
And I think back on all the choices that we made
G A
with so many exits off this highway.

When the cold dark night can feel so all alone

I'll stay with you, here on the road.

I'll stay with you, here on the road.

Just me and you, here on the road
