[Am][G][F][F][C]
[F][C][G][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[F]Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's [C]one day here
and the next day gone
Some[G]times you bend
and sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a [F]world outside every darkened door
Where [C]blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the [G]brave are free and lovers soar

[Pre-chorus 1]
Come ride with me to the distant shore
[Am]We won't hesitate
[G]break down the garden gate
[F]There's not much time left today[D]

[Chorus 1]
Life [Am]is a [G]hi[F]ghway
I [C]wanna ride it
all [F]night [C]lon[G]g[F][C][G]
If you're [Am]going [G]my [F]way
I wanna [C]drive it
all [F]night [C]lon[G]g[F][C][G]

[Verse 2]
Through [F]all these cities and all these towns
It's [C]in my blood and it's all around
I [G]love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From [F]Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The [C]Khyber pass to Vancouver's lights
[G]Knock me down get back up again

[Pre-chorus 2]
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man
[Am]There's no load I can't hold
[G]Road so rough this I know
[F]I'll be there when the light comes in
Just [D]tell 'em we're survivors

[Chorus 2]
Life [Am]is a [G]hi[F]ghway
I [C]wanna ride it
