Chords

[Intro] C/G Dm7 C/G Dm7 [Verse #1] (Slowly 90 b/m)
C/G
We grew apart

C/G
Right from the start

Dm7
Our love wasn't meant to be

        C/G
We were tryin to find

C/G                   Dm7
A love that would bind

Dm7
But failed colossally

Em
It never got no better

Dm
I couldn't take it no more

Em
When she reads my letter

        Dm*  Dm*  Dm*      G        C/G
I'll be five more miles... down the road
[Verse #2] (steadily faster, increasing to 120 b/m)
C/G
Though all those years

C/G
Gave my blood, sweat, and tears

Dm7
But I hadn't a clue

            C/G
Thought our stars were aligned

C/G
I had been blind

    Dm7
Her heart had been untrue

Em
I grabbed my keys and my coat

Dm
And walked on out in the cold

Em
When she reads the words I wrote

        Dm*  Dm*  Dm*      G        C/G
I'll be five more miles... down the road
[Chorus]
C/G
I'm gettin' white line fever

C/G                           Dm7
Crusin' down the highway at a hundred and three

C/G
Keep on pushing down this road

C/G                     Dm7
Puttin' miles and miles behind me

C/G
More distance 'tween me and her

Dm7
The better off I'll be

C/G
Further I get 'way from that girl

Dm7                                 Dm*   G*    C/G
The more I'll know what it means... to... be... free
[Instrumental] C/G Dm7 C/G Dm7 Em Dm Em Dm7 G C/G [Verse #3]
C/G
On the horizon, watch the sunset

C/G
This is 'bout as good as life gets

Dm7
Top down, hair blowing in the breeze

C/G
I got the pedal to the floor

C/G
Can't push it any more

Dm7
I'm just goin wherever I please

Em
With a tank full of gas, headed anywhere

Dm
Just lettin' my worries unload

Em
Don't care if she knows I ain't there

Dm*                        G*       C/G
I'll be five more miles... down the road
[Bridge]
Fm7
I don't know where this road will take me

C/G
But I don't really care

Fm7
Another moment with that girl

Dm                    G
Was more than I could bear
[Chorus]
C/G
I'm gettin' white line fever

C/G                           Dm7
Crusin' down the highway at a hundred and three

C/G
Keep on pushing down this road

C/G                     Dm7
Puttin' miles and miles behind me

C/G
More distance 'tween me and her

Dm7
The better off I'll be

C/G
Further I get 'way from that girl

Dm7                                 Dm*   G*    C/G
The more I'll know what it means... to... be... free
