Intro:  F#m  D  F#m  D  F#m  D  E

[Verse 1]
A               E            D 
  She spent the summer in Chicago
A           E          D
  Spent the winter in L.A.
F#m        C#m           D
  She can run faster than a river
A           E          D
  Sometimes I still hear her say

[Chorus]
F#m       D       A
  You can always be gone
F#m             D               A       E
  But you can't always make the ride go on and on
F#m       D        A
  You can always drive fast
F#m             D               A         E         
  But you can't always make the long ride last

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A             E            D
  She fell in love in Colorado
A              E          D
  And drove out west to see the bay
F#m        C#m          D
  I'll feel sorry for him tomorrow
A            E          D
  But he's a lucky man today

[Chorus]
F#m        D       A
  She will always be gone
F#m             D               A       E
  But she won't always make the ride go on and on
F#m        D        A
  She will always drive fast
F#m             D               A         E    
  But she won't always make the long ride last

[Verse 3]
A        E             D
  One day she showed up at my house
A          E          D
  She said, "Want to get away?"
F#m   C#m        D     
  Wanna to go to Indiana
A          E           D
  A lot of music there they say

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4](Palm Muted for the first two verses)
A        E       D          
  And I've never been back since
A            E             D
  I bought a car and I call it home
F#m     C#m            D      
  I still miss the diner on main street
A              E            D
  Miss walking down the old post road

[Chorus]
F#m       D       A
  You can always be gone
F#m             D               A       E
  But you can't always make the ride go on and on
F#m       D        A
  You can always drive fast
F#m             D               A         E     
  But you can't always make the long ride last
