INTRO: A


#1.
A                         D           A
The angels were singin' a sad country song,
                             E
it sounded like somethin' of yours.
       A                          D            
With a conscience as clear as the tear in 
     A                       E          A
your eye and a heart beatin' golden and pure.


#2.
A                              D           
And I felt all the feelin's we set down in 
A                            E
song, torn from the body and soul.
        A                        D             
And the fortunes that faded like stars into 
A                         E           A
daylight and teardrops we turned into gold.

 

CHORUS:
      D                         A
Every hard rockin' wreck on the highway.
A                             E
Every heartbroken rule of the road.
      A                          D             
Every true thing we wrote on the wind is 
      A
still singin.'
            E             A
Love is the last thing to go.



INTERLUDE: A D



#3.
D                     G           D
Love is the reason we happened at all.
D                         A
It paid for the damage we done.
       D                        G        
And it bought us the freedom to fall into 
D                       A            D
grace on our way to our place in the sun.


CHORUS:
      G                         D      
Every hard rockin' wreck on the highway.
      D                       A
Every heartbroken rule of the road.
      D                          G    
Every true thing we wrote on the wind is 
      D
still singin.'
            A             D 
Love is the last thing to go.
