G                                   Cadd9 
He never knew their names and never really cared 
         Em                           D 
Lying to himself, he was never just a young kid scared 
G                                Cadd9 
Living on his own with no one to hold on to 
Em                D 
Nowhere to go and nothing to do 
Cadd9 
But lie awake and pray that one day 
Cadd9 
Someone will come his way 


Chorus 
       G 
All he knows are   
              D 
Highways and broken hearts 
Em               Cadd9 
Late nights and old guitars 
G          D 
Wondering where you are 
       Em  D   Cadd9 
You're so far away 


His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best 
Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be going next 
Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes 
It's a good time, but just for the night 
Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico 
Then off to Colorado 

Chorus 

Staring through the walls of that motel room 
Reflecting on his days, the route that he's seemed to choose 
Will good outshine the bad, can he turn this thing around 
Should he drop to his knees, just give up now 
Begging for release in the night 
Has he gone too far to fight? 

Chorus 

       Em  D   Cadd9 
You're so far away 
       Em  D   Cadd9 
You're so far away
