Life is a Highway

C Bb Dm F Gm G

Life's like a road that you travel on There's one day here and the next day gone Sometimes you bend; sometimes you stand; sometimes you turn your back to the wind There's a world outside every darkened door Where blues won't haunt you anymore

Bless The Broken Road

C G F Dm Am7 Dm7

Vs1: I set out on a narrow way, many years ago Hoping I would find true love along the broken road But I got lost a time or two Wiped my brow and kept pushing through I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

What Hurts the Most

D Cadd9 G Em7 Em C

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house That don't bother me I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out I?m not afraid to cry every once in a while Even though going on with you gone still upsets me

My Wish

A2 E B F#m C#m A

Verse 1 I hope that days come easy and moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you want to go, And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

Yours If You Want It

Stand

F G Am C A5 Em

Just like a picture, with a broken frame, Alone and helpless, like you?ve lost your fight, You?ll be alright, You?ll be alright, cause When push comes to shove you taste what you?re made of, You might bend till you break, it?s all you can take,
