[F#] I'm sitting down by the highway, [B] down by that highway [F] side.
[F#] [B] [F#]
[B] Everybody's going [E] somewhere, [B] riding just as fast as they can [F#] ride.
[B] [F#]
[C#] I guess they got a lot to do [D#m] before they [B] can rest assured [F#] their [C#] lives are [B] justified.
Pray to God for [F#] me, babe, he can let me slide.
[C#]
[F#] I've been up and down this highway, [B] far as my eyes can [F#] see.
[B] [F#]
[B] No matter how fast I run, I can never seem to get away from [F#] me.
[B] [F#]
[C#] No matter where I [D#m] am, I get [B] up thinking I'm [F#] just a day away [C#] from where I want to [B] be.
Now I'm [F#] running home, babe, [B] like [F#] a river to the sea.
[C#]
Baby, if you [F#] can see me out across [B] this wilderness,
[F#] there's just one thing [C#] I was hoping you might guess.
Baby, you [D#m] can free me, [F#] all [B] in the power of your [C#] sweet [F#] tenderness.
[B] Yeah, [F#] well, [C#]
[F#] I can see it in your eyes.
[B] You've got those bright [F#] baby blues.
[B] [F#]
[B] You don't see what you've got to gain, but you don't like [F#] to lose.
[B] [F#]
[C#] You watch yourself from the [D#m] sidelines like your life [B] is a game.
You don't [F#] mind playing [C#] to keep yourself [B] amused.
I don't mean to [F#] be cruel, baby, but you're looking confused.
[C#]
Baby, if you [F#] can hear me turn [B] down your radio,
[F#] there's just one thing I [C#] want you to know.
When you've [D#m] been near me, [C#] I [B] felt the love [F#] stirring in my soul.
[B] Yeah, [F#] yes, I [C#] have.
[F#] [B]
[F#] [B] [F#]
[B]
[F#] [B] [F#] It's
[C#] [D#m] [B]
[F#] [C#] [B]
[F#] [B] [F#] [C#]
[F#] so hard to come by [B] that feeling [F#] of peace.
[Bm] [F#] This friend of mine said, close [B] your eyes and try a few [F#] of these.
[C#] I thought I was flying like a [D#m] bird so far [B] above my sorrow,
but [F#] when I looked down, [C#] I was standing on my [B] knees.
Now I need [F#] someone to help me, [B] [F#] someone to help me.
[C#]
Baby, if you [F#] need me like [B] I know I need you,
there's [F#] just one thing [C#] I'll ask you to do.
Take my [D#m] hand and lead me to [G#m] the hole [B] in your garden wall
and pull [F#] me through, [B] [F#] [C#]
pull [F#] me through.
