Highways And Broken Hearts

Tom: G

G                                   C9   
He never knew their names and never really cared
         Em                           D
Lying to himself, he was never just a young kid scared
G                                C9   
Living on his own with no one to hold on to
Em                D
Nowhere to go and nothing to do
C9   
But lie awake and pray that one day
C9   
Someone will come his way

Refrão:
       G
All he knows are  
              D
Highways and broken hearts
Em               C9   
Late nights and old guitars
G          D
Wondering where you are
       Em  D   C9   
You're so far away


His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best
Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be going next
Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes
It's a good time, but just for the night
Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico
Then off to Colorado

(Refrão)

Staring through the walls of that motel room
Reflecting on his days, the route that he's seemed to choose
Will good outshine the bad, can he turn this thing around
Should he drop to his knees, just give up now
Begging for release in the night
Has he gone too far to fight?

(Refrão)

       Em  D   C9   
You're so far away
       Em  D   C9   
You're so far away
