[Intro]
    G            G7
The highway lies between us
C                       D7
The things we said that we must
    G          G7
The raving disillusion of things
C          D7
We almost did but

[Bridge]
         C     D
Like the rocky road
            Bm         Em
that twists and turns
         C
Where's end, where is
    D             G      G7
the ending of our song?

[Chorus]
    C
The love you gave
   D        Bm    Em
to me is so true
          C        D    G     G7
I hope it lasts forever dear
C               D
Life is running short,
            Bm        Em
don't waste our tears
            C
You are the one that
     D              G
I'll love in all my years
    G             G7
The moment when I need you
  C                 D7
I think it's time I miss you
G                  G7
Feelings that are inside me
  C                 D7
I know I can't live without you

[Bridge]
        C                D
Take my hands and let me hold
            Bm         Em
you for one more time
        C
Let our minds fly to
    D             G     G7
the ending of our time
