[G]Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's [D]one day here and the next day gone
[A]Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your head to the wind
There's a [G]world outside every darkened door
Where [D]blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the [A]brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
[Bm]We won't hesitate
[A]Break down the garden's gate
[G]There's not much time left [Em]today

[G]Through all these cities and all these towns
It's [D]in my blood and it's all around
I [A]love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From [G]Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The [D]Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
[A]Knock me down back up again
You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man

Just [Em]tell 'em we're survivors
