Alaska Highway Blues
[Intro]
G C x 3 G D
[Verse]
G D Em Took the last bus up headed north up the California Coast
It was the last bus I’d ever see
G D C The salt wind dried my lungs with every breath in G D Em When I packed my bags I left a ghost G D C Sunsets bathed in the ocean and I never felt this young
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D I called you at midnight but it was Em D 2am your time Em D C When I heard your voice on the message I hung on ever line
[Chorus]
G D We never noticed losing air in here G C We couldn’t breath through the smiles on our faces G D C We were a freeway of recklessnes spinning down a hole C G Further we went our, the more we lost control
[Instrumental]
G C x 3 G D
[Verse]
G D Em Redwoods hold up the sky, mighty giants taking the weight of humanity
They cast shadows that take seats next to me, man I wish you could see
G D C Leaves scream out warnings with all their rustling, but we were too stupid to listen G D C There’s miles of highway worth exploring, Who the hell takes advice from a tree
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D I checked it at midnight, but it is 2 am your time Em D Through coughs I can get out an I love you, Em D C You’ll get the message but not from me
[Chorus]
G D We never noticed losing air in here G C We couldn’t breath through the smiles on our faces G D C We were a freeway of recklessness spinning down a hole C G Further we went our, the more we lost control
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G D Em We crossed the border out of the states on the alaskan highway to the heaven’s gate G D Em The snow covered wind froze the breath as it left us, I wish you could see, I wish you could see G D C Mountains stretch to the sky marking the top of the world where our story ends G D C White light streams from the peak and takes a seat next to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D I waited till midnight to call, but it is 2 am your time Em D C I hope you went out tonight so you don’t have to listen to this gasp of mine
[Chorus]
G D We never noticed losing air in here G C We couldn’t breath through the smiles on our faces G D C We were a freeway of recklessness spinning down a hole C G Further we went our, the more we lost control
[Chorus]
G D We never noticed losing air in here G C We couldn’t breath through the smiles on our faces G D C We were a freeway of recklessness spinning down a hole C G Further we went our, the more we lost control
