[Verse 1- Voice low]
[A] Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's [E] one day here and the next day gone
Some [B] times you bend and sometimes you stand
Some [B] times you turn your back to the wind
There's a [A] world outside every darkened door
Where [E] blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the [B] brave are free and lovers soar
Come [B] ride with me to the distant shore
[C#m] We won't hesitate
[B] Break down the garden's gate
[A] There's not much time left to [F#m] day
[Chorus - SEE NOTES FOR RHYTHM OF CHORDS]

[Verse 2 - Voice high]
[A] Through all these cities and all these towns
It's [E] in my blood and it's all around
I [B] love you now like I loved you then
[B] This is the road and these are the hands
From [A] Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The [E] Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
[B] Knock me down back up again
[B] You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man
[Middle Eight]
[C#m] There's no load I can't hold
[B] Road so rough this I know
[A] I'll be there when the light comes in
Just [F#m] tell 'em we're survivors
[Chorus]
