Intro: D

          D
I've been up and down, left and right

And wrong so many times

Both sides of the winding road, straight 
B
Down the center line
     G    
I've crossed paths with the devil
        Em          A          D         
With an angel on my side           

Always



The first time that I saw you
I knew you were the one
'Cause when I walked beside you
I was walking in the sun
And like a fool, I ran
Like a lonesome highway runs
Always


Chorus:
     B                           G
I've had my life together now at least a thousand times
       D                        A                    A Bb
But it seems satisfaction never was a friend of mine
    B
The way we laughed, the way we cried
    G
And how it hurt to say goodbye
    D                                A    A Bb B
How long can I keep missing you this way?         
  G     D
Always



I sat and watched a tall oak drop acorns at my feet
And thought about the good times, and how good they used to be
And then I watched your memory scatter like dry leaves
Always


Instrumental: B G B G    D



Now the wind fades to a whisper, but still I hear your name
I guess that some things in this life are never gonna change
Though every day is different, my love for you remains
Always


Chorus:
  B                           G
I've had my life together now at least a thousand times
       D                        A                    A Bb
But it seems satisfaction never was a friend of mine
    B
The way we laughed, the way we cried
    G
And how it hurt to say goodbye
    D                                A    A Bb B     
How long can I keep missing you this way?         
  G      B
Always
  G
Always
