G Dmaj7/4
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode
G Dmaj7/4
Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before
G Dmaj7/4
Watchin' the crowd roll in, out go the lights it begins
G Dmaj7/4
A feelin' in my bones I never felt before
G Dmaj7/4 G Dmaj7/4
Mmm...
C D G Em
People always told me that bars are dark and lonely
C D G G7
And talk is often cheap and filled with air
C D
Sure sometimes they thrill me
G Em
But nothin' could ever chill me
C D G
Like the way they make the time just disappear
G Dmaj7/4
Feelin' you here again, hot on my skin again
G Dmaj7/4
Feelin' good a thing I'd never known before
G Dmaj7/4
What does it mean to feel, millions of dreams come real
G Dmaj7/4
A feelin' in my soul I'd never felt before
G Dmaj7/4 G Dmaj7/4
Mmm...
C D
And you, you always told me
G Em
No matter how long it holds me
C D G G7
If it falls apart or makes us millionaires
C D
You'll be right here forever
G Em
We'll go thru this thing together
C D G Dmaj7/4 G Dmaj7/4 (ad lib.)
And on heaven's golden shore we'll lay our heads
