Verse 
    D                D7     G          
All alone at the end of the evenin' 
         D                  D7       G 
When the bright lights have faded to blue 
      D                F#7                  Bm 
I was thinkin' about a woman who might have loved me 
            A    G  F#m 
But I never knew 
               A             D             D7         G 
You know I've always been a dreamer, spent my life runnin' 'round 
                                 D7        G 
It was so hard to change, I can't seem to settle down 
                         Em     Em7  G 
But the dreams I've seen lately 
        A 
Keep on turnin' out, and burnin' out, and turnin' out the same 

   G            D       G             D 
So put me on a highway, and show me a sign 
    G              A               D 
And take it to the limit one more time 

Intro 
        D               D7         G 
You can spend all your time makin' love 
         D              D7         G 
You can spend all your love makin' time 
      D           F#7     Bm 
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow 
                   A    G  F#m 
Would you still be mine 
             A                D            D7     G 
When you're lookin' for your freedom, and nobody seems to care 
                       D               D7            G 
And you can't find the door, when you can't find it anywhere 
                         Em          Em7    G 
When there's nothing to believe in 
             A 
Still you're comin' back, you're runnin' back, you're comin' back for more 

   G              D       G          D 
So put me on the highway, show me a sign 
    G               A              Bm 
And take it to the limit one more time 
G              A 
Take it to the limit 
G               A 
Take it to the limit 
G               A             D 
Take it to the limit one more time
