Chords

The intro riff has some hammer ons and offs with the G and C chords but they sound fine played as chords. [Intro] G C G G D C G [Verse 1]
                G
Jet fuel and traffic lines

                    D
Pulling up to the delta signs

                 Am
Distant shape of my hometown

                        C
Black stain where the wheels touch down

                G
I pick up the morning news

                            D
I pass the man whos never shined my shoes

                     Am
Through security and to the train

                          C
That will take me to the airplane
[Instrumental] G C G [Verse 2]
                         G
Count the miles on the highway

            D
The sum of all my days

                    Am
Theres a postcard theres a call

                                C
And theres a picture for your bedroom wall

                        G
But do you ever wonder through and through

                           D
Whos that person standing next to you

                   Am
And after all the nights apart

                                  C
Is there a home for a travelling heart
[Chorus]
                G  D      Am  C
But if I werent leaving you

             G    D       Am  C
I don't know what I would do

               G              C
But the more I go the less I know

                     G            C
Will the fire still burn on my return

         Am               C          
Keep the path lit on the only road I know

                    D
Honey all I know to do is go
[Instrumental] G C G G D C G [Verse 3]
                        G
A cup of coffee and my bags are packed

                     D
The same vow not to look back

                    Am
Familiar emptiness inside

                    C
As the distances grow wide

                    G
And though I vow to memorize

                      D
The last look in your loving eyes

                   Am
Its here dusk and there dawn

                                C
Oh its like a curtain getting slowly drawn
[Chorus]
                G  D      Am  C
But if I werent leaving you

             G    D       Am  C
I don't know what I would do

               G              C
But the more I go the less I know

                     G            C
Will the fire still burn on my return

         Am               C          
Keep the path lit on the only road I know

                    D
Honey all I know to do is go
[Instrumental] G C G G D C G G C G G D C G [Chorus]
                G  D      Am  C
But if I werent leaving you

             G    D       Am  C
I don't know what I would do

               G              C
But the more I go the less I know

                     G            C
Will the fire still burn on my return

         Am               C          
Keep the path lit on the only road I know

                    D
Honey all I know to do is go
[Outro] G C G G D C G
