[Verse 1]
A D
2000 was fired out from a cannon
A D
The neighbors shot up at the lamps
A D
We piled in the street and stood for our anthems
A D
On top of the cars with bottles in hand
A D
This year crept up, who could see it coming?
A D
No one saw the signs, if any were there
A D
The distant funeral marches drumming
F#m E D E
I’ll take life, don’t care if it’s fair
[Bridge/Continues like this into next verse]

[Verse 2]
A D
Read too many tales with terrible endings
A D
Gods and machines that get in the way
A
You thought we were home
D
Turns out we were renting
F#m E D E
Until I am gone, I’m here to stay
A D
Taken away, our friends, our lovers
A D
By cancer, heroin, tragedy
A D
It’s not the wakes I’m worried over
F#m E D E
It’s knowing we have to go to sleep
[Chorus]
A E
If it’s a highway
D A
I am trying just to drive
D A
I am trying just to drive
E A E
Stay awake and stay alive
F#m A
If it’s a highway
D A
I want you there at the side
D A
I want you there at the side
E A
Still awake and still alive

[Verse 3/Same pattern as last verse]
A D
The songs we thought we’d have to bury
A D
We faced ‘em head on right away
A D
Every reason to cry, not one to worry
F#m E D E
Drive faster and further is my only change
A D
So tattoo our arms and raise our glasses
A D
Call out your names this New Years Eve
A D
And may the next time we kneel at a casket
F#m E D E
We say, “At least the story’s complete.”
[Chorus]
A E
If it’s a highway
D A
I am trying just to drive
D A
I am trying just to drive
E A E
Stay awake and stay alive
F#m A
If it’s a highway
D A
I want you there at the side
D A
I want you there at the side
E A
Still awake and still alive
A E
If it’s a highway
D A
I am trying just to drive
D A
I am trying just to drive
E A E
Stay awake and stay alive
F#m A
If it’s a highway
D A
I want you there at the side
D A
I want you there at the side
E A E D A
Still awake and still alive
