C#m B C#m  C#m E C#m  B B  F#m F#m  x2 


verse 1: 
   C#m 
In cruise control 
       B        F#m 
to the wreck of me 
  C#m 
I lay my head up 
            B 
against the wheel 
    F#m   C#m 
and dream Highway 
      B      F#m 
forty five O nine 
 C#m 
Stretches across 
            B 
this wicked dream 
   F#m   C#m 
of mine Abated only 
       B      F#m 
by the engine drone 
    C#m 
The silence takes 
     B        F#m 
hold then I'm home 


Refrain 1: 
C#m             B 
   Phantoms and shadows 
        G#m 
take control of the 
A    B C#m 
wheel     The smell 
   B        G#m 
of gasoline sex and 
 A   B C#m 
steel     Somewhere 
  B 
I lost my way and 
G#m     A    B C#m 
you got brave  
        B/Eb   G#m A 
And now here I lay 


verse 2: 
C#m 
Somewhere in this 
highways moan The 
B 
Angels dare to 
F#m 
guide my way 
C#m 
   Strychnine and 
broken spine 
    B      F#m 
The engine wanes 
C#m 
Seat belt tightens 
 B        F#m 
across my chest 
C#m 
Broken glass and 
        B 
plastic finally 
        F#m 
come to rest 


Refrain 2: 
A 
  Coz all my senses 
      B 
come alive and 
start to shake 
  A 
me Broken bones 
         B 
and the smile 
that you left 


Chorus 1: 
   C#m 
Magnolia don't 
A 
pray for me All 
    E 
the warning signs 
        B 
I never cared to 
       C#m 
see Magnolia all 
  A 
direction lost 
  E 
I took the ride 
      G#m 
and I paid the cost 


Interlude: C#m   x8 


Bridge: 
     C#m 
No illustrious 
   A 
collaboration 
E 
somewhere outta 
B 
time alone and You're 
    C#m 
the one that made 
   A 
it out You're the 
E              G#m 
shadow and the doubt 


Refrain 3: 
A 
  A lonely ambulance 
   B 
is heard across the 
       A 
highway With sirens 
                   B 
screaming out your name 


Chorus 2: 
   C#m 
Magnolia don't 
A 
pray for me All 
    E 
the warning signs 
        B 
I never cared to 
       C#m 
see Magnolia all 
  A 
direction lost 
And you're the one 
       G#m 
that's moving on 
           C#m 
don't your razor 
steel collapse and 
A         E 
burn away Crosses 
         B 
line and Angels prey 
C#m 
Cruise control to 
         A 
the very wreck of me 
    E 
The warning signs I 
    G#m          C#m A E B 
was too blind to see 
   C#m         A 
Magnolia all direction 
     E 
lost You're the one 
       G#m(hold) 
that's moving on
