Life Is a Highway

Tom Cochrane

capo III

G
Life's like a road that you travel on
D
When there's one day here and the next day gone
A
Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand

Sometimes you turn your head to the wind
G
There's a world outside every darkened door
D
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
A
Where the brave are free and lovers soar

Come ride with me to the distant shore

Bm
We won't hesitate
A
Break down the garden's gate
G                            Em
There's not much time left today

   Bm    A  G
R: Life is a highway
   G D/F#  D        G  D/F#  A     G  D/F#  A
   I wanna ride it all night long
   Bm     A     G
   If you're going my way
   G D/F#  D        G  D/F#  A     G  D/F#  A
   I wanna drive it all night long

G
Through all these cities and all these towns
D
It's in my blood and it's all around
A
I love you now like I loved you then

This is the road and these are the hands
G
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
D
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
A
Knock me down back up again

You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man

Bm
There's no load I can't hold
A
Road so rough this I know
G
I'll be there when the light comes in
Em
Just tell 'em we're survivors

R: (2x)

Em          G                  Bm       A
There was a distance between you and I
Em           G                 Bm                    A
A misunderstanding once, but now we look in the eye

Bm
There's no load I can't hold
A
Road so rough this I know
G
I'll be there when the light comes in
Em
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

R: (2x)
