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
