verse 1
C
March up the side of any interstate or parkway
G Am F
Little vigils mark up the landscape
C
White sticks where the flowers live
Am G F C
Left with the hope of seeing him again
Am G F C
Left with the hope of seeing her again
Pre-Chorus
Dmin F
It's easy not to recognize
Am G C F
That there were crosses in the road
Am G F C
The secrets that were never told
Am G C F
The river and the trains, so different but the same
Am G F C
They were just getting where they need to go
Am G F C
The decorations out of car Windows
verse 2
C
Hold on to memories, look for a sign that
G Am F
Talk to gravestone that never seem to talk back
C
Never knowing what could've been
Am G F C
Left with the hope of seeing him again
Am G F C
Left with the hope of seeing her again
Pre-Chorus
Dmin F
It's easy not to recognize
Am G C F
That there were crosses in the road
Am G F C
The secrets that were never told
Am G C F
The river and the trains, so different but the same
Am G F C
They were just getting where they need to go
Am F G C
Somewhere far from heaven only knows
BRIDGE
F C Am G
All this time I'm still haunted by your face tonight
F C Am G
Think of you on your darkest night I wish that I
F C Am G
Could save you from the wreckage of your last goodbye
F Dm
When I'm lonely I go and see you
FINAL Chorus
Am G C F
And the crosses in the road
Am G F C
The secrets that were never told
Am G C F
The river and the trains, so different but the same
Am G F C
They were just getting where they need to go
Am G C F
And the crosses in the road
Am G F C
The secrets that were never told
Am G C F
The people that we used to know
Am G F C
Pay our respects to crosses in the road
Am F G C
Pay our respects to crosses in the road
