Key: C Intro: C Em G D C Em G D Verse 1: C Em G 40 miles down the road where the dead wind blows D There ain’t a sight of the streets C Em Through the fields in the south G D You were no-way bound, livin’ wild and free C Em I was lost, now I’m caught in a feelin’ G D My blue-eyed American dream C Em Never felt more at ease G D Somehow the dust and the breeze takes a hold of me
Pre-Chorus: Em D G Oh, I would stop this whole world for hours C But I don’t know how Em D G Oh, I swear this whole world could be ours C Keep your head in the clouds Chorus: Em D I’ll keep my eyes on the road Turn up the radio G Wind in our hair screaming C “Don’t you dare look back” Em This fear is on my mind D Ridin’ the borderline G C Holdin’ on tight until we crash Em We’re just some wild hearts D C Em G D Chasin’ something that could tear us apart Verse 2: C Em Highway take us away G D Far from our mistakes, under heartland skies C Em Towards the woods in the west G They say there’s no time left D So, let’s live for tonight Pre-Chorus: Em D G Oh, I would stop this whole world for hours C But I don’t know how Em D G Oh, I swear this whole world could be ours C Keep your head in the clouds Chorus: Em D I’ll keep my eyes on the road Turn up the radio G Wind in our hair screaming C “Don’t you dare look back” Em This fear is on my mind D Ridin’ the borderline G C Holdin’ on tight until we crash Em We’re just some wild hearts D C Em G D Chasin’ something that could tear us apart C Em G D Outro: Em We’re just some wild hearts D C Chasin’ something that could tear us apart
