EbAbEbBb It seems like I was there from the start Eb A witness to your wild and reckless heart AbEbBb You showed me the way but now you're gone Bb Quicker than the trigger of an outlaw's gun
Living fast and dying young Eb A victim of this road you left me on AbEbBbEb White line took my baby AbEbBbEb Led him down that dark highway AbEbBbEb Headlight blind driving crazy AbEbBb If my wheels keep turning BbEb Gonna roll that white line away EbAbEbBb We worked the road as hard as we could drive her Eb But now I am the only survivor AbEbBb >From night to night at every place I play in Bb The sweetness of your song remains
I'll be the keeper of the flame Eb Til every soul hears what your heart was saying AbEbBbEb White line took my baby AbEbBbEb Led him down that dark highway AbEbBbEb Headlight blind driving crazy AbEbBb If my wheels keep turning BbEb Gonna roll that white line away CmAb All the nights you spent alone EbBb All the love I'd never shown CmAb All the words I could not say EbBb Till that white line took you away AbEbBbEbF White line took you away FBbFC I'll follow this white line down where it's winding F Cause somewhere up ahead your light's still shining FBbFC The sound of the silver strings will guide me
I've stood and watched the bridges burn
I'm past the point of no return F Oh how I wish that you were here beside me BbFCF White line took my baby BbFCF Led him down that dark highway BbFCF Headlight blind driving crazy BbFC If my wheels keep turning CF Gonna roll that white line away BbFCF White line took my baby BbFCF Led him down that dark highway BbFCF Headlight blind driving crazy BbFC If my wheels keep turning CF Gonna roll that white line away
