Suite for a New Life – With the Radio On

Am F
if it all fell apart and ended in a ditch
C G
we’d have no one but ourselves to thank
Am F
we set out with nothing to our names
C G
but our clothes and the gas in the tank

Am F
nothing we had was making sense anymore
C G
so we headed out to find something else
Am F
you seemed pretty sure and I didn’t wanna scare you
C G Am
so I kept my doubts to myself

(very slowly)

Em Am
as we slipped away
you held my hand so tight I couldn’t breathe
Em Am G
drove into a sunrise full of colors I knew didn’t exist

(faster)

C G F G
I thought we’d find a new place of our own
didn’t know you were such a rolling stone
shaking off the moss, heading out into the great unknown

we didn’t know the world was so wide
once you let go knots are untied
its beauty’s just a mirror of the beauty we all have inside

Flyin’ down the highway with the radio on
Singin’ just as loud as I can to my favorite song
Well it might be Nez or Bob or Van
But I always try to sing just as loud as I can
Flyin’ down the highway with the radio on

You pull out the map every once in a while
And I glance at you and you glance and we share a smile
And the sun glints through your golden hair
And I can’t believe my luck that we’re there
Flyin’ down the highway with the radio on

You feed me a fast-food fish sandwich; it drips on my shirt
I slurp green circle logo iced mocha and try to stay alert
Like Newtonian bodies in motion we stay
‘Cause we hate to slow down ‘less there’s no other way
Flyin’ down the highway with the radio on

bridge
F x8 C x8
Big fast car and a snappy tune And you right by my side
F x8 G FFF G G F E D
Cup o’ joe and a bite to eat Man, what a ride!

Finally pause for some greasy home cookin’ in a roadside cafe
Pay the bill and escape in a hurry to be on our way
Watchin’ a sunset we wish we could frame
Settle in for a night that’s just more of the same
Flyin’ down the highway with the radio on

Flyin’ down the highway with the radio on
Flyin’ down the highway with the radio on
