Chords

[Verse 1]
G                                   Cadd9
He never knew their names and never really cared

         Em                           D
Lying to himself, he was never just a young kid scared

G                                Cadd9
Living on his own with no one to hold on to

Em                D
Nowhere to go and nothing to do

Cadd9
But lie awake and pray that one day

Cadd9
Someone will come his way
[Chorus]
       G
All he knows are

              D
Highways and broken hearts

Em               Cadd9
Late nights and old guitars

G          D
Wondering where you are

       Em  D   Cadd9
You're so far away
[Verse 2]
G                                   Cadd9
His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best

         Em                           D
Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be going next

G                                Cadd9
Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes

Em                D
It's a good time, but just for the night

Cadd9
Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico

Cadd9
Then off to Colorado
[Chorus]
       G
All he knows are

              D
Highways and broken hearts

Em               Cadd9
Late nights and old guitars

G          D
Wondering where you are

       Em  D   Cadd9
You're so far away
[Verse 3]
G                                   Cadd9
Staring through the walls of that motel room

         Em                           D
Reflecting on his days, the route that he's seemed to choose

G                                Cadd9
Will good outshine the bad, can he turn this thing around

Em                D
Should he drop to his knees, just give up now

Cadd9
Begging for release in the night

Cadd9
Has he gone too far to fight?
[Chorus]
       G
All he knows are

              D
Highways and broken hearts

Em               Cadd9
Late nights and old guitars

G          D
Wondering where you are

       Em  D   Cadd9
You're so far away
[Outro]
       Em  D   Cadd9
You're so far away

       Em  D   Cadd9
You're so far away
