Five More Miles Down The Road chords

[INTRO]
[C/G] [Dm7] [C/G] [Dm7]

[VERSE #1]
(Slowly 90 b/m)
[C/G]We grew apart
[C/G]Right from the start
[Dm7]Our love wasn't meant to be
We were [C/G]tryin to find
[C/G]A love that would bind[Dm7]
[Dm7]But failed colossally
[Em]It never got no better
[Dm]I couldn't take it no more
[Em]When she reads my letter
Dm* Dm* Dm* [G] C/G
I'll be five more miles... down the road

[VERSE #2]
(steadily faster, increasing to 120 b/m)
[C/G]Though all those years
[C/G]Gave my blood, sweat, and tears
[Dm7]But I hadn't a clue
Thought our [C/G]stars were aligned
[C/G]I had been blind
Her [Dm7]heart had been untrue
[Em]I grabbed my keys and my coat
[Dm]And walked on out in the cold
[Em]When she reads the words I wrote
Dm* Dm* Dm* [G] C/G
I'll be five more miles... down the road

[CHORUS]
[C/G]I'm gettin' white line fever
[C/G]Crusin' down the highway at a [Dm7]hundred and three
[C/G]Keep on pushing down this road
[C/G]Puttin' miles and miles [Dm7]behind me
[C/G]More distance 'tween me and her
[Dm7]The better off I'll be
[C/G]Further I get 'way from that girl
[Dm7] Dm* G* [C/G]
The more I'll know what it means... to... be... free

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C/G] [Dm7] [C/G] [Dm7] [Em] [Dm] [Em] [Dm7] [G] [C/G]

[VERSE #3]
[C/G]On the horizon, watch the sunset
[C/G]This is 'bout as good as life gets
[Dm7]Top down, hair blowing in the breeze
[C/G]I got the pedal to the floor
[C/G]Can't push it any more
[Dm7]I'm just goin wherever I please
[Em]With a tank full of gas, headed anywhere
[Dm]Just lettin' my worries unload
[Em]Don't care if she knows I ain't there
Dm* G* C/G
I'll be five more miles... down the road

[BRIDGE]
[Fm7]I don't know where this road will take me
[C/G]But I don't really care
[Fm7]Another moment with that girl
[Dm]Was more than I could [G]bear

[CHORUS]
[C/G]I'm gettin' white line fever
[C/G]Crusin' down the highway at a [Dm7]hundred and three
[C/G]Keep on pushing down this road
[C/G]Puttin' miles and miles [Dm7]behind me
[C/G]More distance 'tween me and her
[Dm7]The better off I'll be
[C/G]Further I get 'way from that girl
[Dm7] Dm* G* [C/G]
The more I'll know what it means... to... be... free
