Capo on 3rd fret
Am

Em Am
I hit the highway running, from the girl I left
behind,
C
Em
G7
She could have seen it coming, but I guess she’s not
that kind.
Am
C
F
G7
There’s nothing left between us, but this highway out of
town,
C
Am
E
Am
And a thousand other back roads, leading to the crying
ground.
I should have told her
something, as I walked out of the door,
But anything I had to say, had all been said before.
I closed the door behind me, and I did not make a sound,
I just headed down the highway, leading to the crying ground.
CHORUS
F G7
Am
Em
And I’m cry-y-ing, for the dreams I left behind,
F G7
Am
E
Cry-y-ing, for the shadows in my mind,
F
G7
F
G7
Shadows I don’t understand that cause my head to pound,
C
Am
E
Am
And they chase me down the highway leading to The Crying Ground.
A thousand words lie on my
lips, but still I can not find,
A way to say ‘I love you’, without crossing over lines.
I don’t know where I’m coming from, and I don’t know where
I’m bound,
I’m just heading down the highway, leading to the crying ground.
Chorus
BRIDGE
Am
F
G7
Am
Em
And there are faces I re-member, that
have called me to their side.
F
G7
Am
E
But how can I em-brace them, when I
only run and hide?
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
F G7 / Am / Em
Cry-y-ing...
F G7 / Am / E
Cry-y-ing...
F / G7 / F / G7 // C / Am / E / Am
The highway goes forever, it
feels good to be alive,
Tyres go on singing underneath the overdrive.
I turn my radio up loud, and I cover up the sound,
Of me heading down the highway, leading to the crying ground.
Chorus
Am
C
Em
Am
I hit the highway running, from the girl I left be-hind...
