Three Chords And The Truth

D
On a highway bound for nowhere
I ran my fingers through my tangled hair
     G                             D
As I pulled in for another tank of freedom
With a hundred miles behind me
And a million more to go
      E                           A
I was tryin' to put some distance between us

D
I turned on the radio
And a voice came over sweet and low
      G                                 D
And I didn't know the tears were gonna start
G
But what amazed me even more
        D                G
Is I'd never heard that song before
D             A                 D
But somehow I knew each word by heart

                 G                 D
And I don't know why, I don't know how
A
But with his song he turned my life and
D
This old car around
D           G                  D   G
Just when I thought I was over you-oooh
G             D    A                         D
He changed my mind with three chords and the truth

D
Found a pay phone at a truck stop
Said a prayer as the quater dropped
G                                     D
Oh, please be home, I know that I was wrong
G
Honey, don't talk, just listen

          D                G
I think I found what I was missin'
     D            A              D
In a song I heard tonight on the radio
