Intro 
Dm  C  Bb  Em  E/G#  Am 

verse 1 
Am                                Dm    C 
Your life stepped lightly out our hands 
     Bb               C                 F  Em E/G# Am 
When no one's looking out you understand 
                                             Dm    C 
Your world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turn 
    Bb                      F/A         Gm7      C 
The bottom fell out and our fingers got burned 

A7/C# Bb7 Bb7/C Dm7 Dm7 And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down Bb7 Bb7/C Dm7 Dm7/C Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground Gm7 Gm7/C# Am7 Dm Dm/C Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend F Bb F/A Gm7 In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end
Em E/G# Am verse 2 Am Dm C Every new version of the way of life Bb C F Em E/G# Am Leaves you reckless and searching for stars in the night Am Dm C But whose kid are you when they finally decide Bb F/A Gm7 C The lifestyle you led and the way that you died
A7/C# Bb7 Bb7/C Dm7 Dm7 And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down Bb7 Bb7/C Dm7 Dm7/C Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground Gm7 Gm7/C# Am7 Dm Dm/C Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend F Bb F/A Gm7 In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end
verse 3 F Dm F Bb Bb7 But they're oh so simple, they're still trying to tell G/B C F Em E/G# The difference for you between heaven and hell Am Dm Dm/C To glorify something, your legends are found G/B C C/Bb C/A Em E/G# Am But all they bought you was a hole in the ground verse 4 Am Dm C Years rolling by just like a dream (ooh) Bb C F Em E/G# Am I'm partly human and I'm partly machine Dm C They've lost you and fate put your name on a stone (ahh) Bb F/A Gm7 C Perhaps now my friend they might leave you alone (ahh)
A7/C# Bb7 Bb7/C Dm7 Dm7 And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down Bb7 Bb7/C Dm7 Dm7/C Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground Gm7 Gm7/C# Am7 Dm Dm/C Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend F Bb F/A Gm7 In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end
