[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Am][D][G][Em][Am][D][Ab]

[Verse 1]
[G]Smooth road,
[Bm]clean [D]day
But why [G]am I the only [F#]one
[C]traveling this [Cm]way?[F][G]
How strange the road to love
[C]can be so [Cm]easy
[Bm]Can't you see the [Em]detour [G]ahead?
[A][Asus4][Abdim][G]
Wake up, [Bm]slow [Daug]down
Be[G]fore you fall and break
[C]your heart
Gullible [Cm]clown
[F]You [G]fool, you're headed
in the [C]wrong direction
[Cm]Mmm, [Bm]can't you see
the [Am]detour [D]ahead[G]
[F#]For [Bm]the farther you trave[F#]l
The harder to unravel
[B]The world [Abm]she spends ar[C#m]ound you
[F#]Wake [Bm]up, wake up all this time,
[F#]can't you see the danger sign?
[B]Soft shoulders sur[Abm] round[Am] you,
[D]smo[G]oth out cle[Daug]ar night
[G]Oh, lucky me that suddenly
[C]I saw t[Cm]he light
[G]I'm getting back away
[C]from all the [Cdim]trouble
[F]Smo[Bm]oth road, smo[Em]oth road
[Bbdim]There's n[C#dim]o detour[G]
[D]ahead

[Outro 1]
