Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][F][G][Bb][G][F][G][Bb]
[G]

[Verse 1]
There's [G]a tavern up on the roadside,
I must [C]be coming in[D]to [G]town
The moon must be in Aries,
because [F]the truck ain't slowing [D]down
[Am]Pulled back on the throttle,
[C]I've been doing tha[D]t all day[G]
Looking ahead for [D]a right-hand [F]turn
turn [C]to carry [D]me [G]away

[Verse 2]
There's [G]times for understanding,
it don't [C]seem like [D]one of [G]those
The times are too demanding when
you're [F]hanging by your [D]nose
So why [A]don't you just [Am]get [C]out of
here and leave me [D]here to [G]pray?
That one of these mornings the sun's
[F]going to rise and [C]carry [D]me [G]away

[Verse 3]
Carry me [C]over [D]the hig[G]hway
Carry me [C]over [D]the[G] sky
Carry me [C]over [D]the lon[Em]eliness
That I'm [C]feeling [D]here tonight
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][C][Bb][G][Gm][G][F][G][Bb]

[Verse 4]
You know I'm [G]feeling just
like a riptide and [C]I'm feeling a little [D]scared[G]
A twisted maze of old highways,
[F]nobody has [D]repaired
It ain't [Am]nothing that can't be
[C]handled like an actor [D]in a [G]play
Who becomes enraged,
[D]jumps from the[Em] stage and[F] gets a[C] little carrie[D]d away[G]

[Verse 5]
Now [G]all of your highways,
don't mean [C]much to [D]me no [G]more
I've been on all of your highway
roads of [F]that you can [D]be sure
But I [A]still [Am]get lost on [C]all of them roads,
I can't seems to [D]find my [G]way
I know there's one [D]out there [G]some
[F]where to [C]carry [D]me [G]away

[Verse 6]
Carry me [C]over [D]the hig[G]hway
[C][D][G][C][D][Em][C][D][G]
[C]Carry [D]me [G]over t[C]he sk[D]y[G]
Carry me [C]over [D]the lon[Em]eliness
That I'm [C]feeling [D]here tonight

[Outro 1]
