G
Meet me in Chicago
D
Down by the waterline
Am
Step across the Gold coast
C
Stepped into this heart of mine
G
Maybe Cincinnati
D
With a trip in the morning light
Am
Step across the branches I will
C
Follow you over the Rhine
G
And it takes one to know one's what they always say
D
Waiting for the dawn and I'm waiting for the day
Am
Oh I'm coming home and I'm willing to pray
C
Stepping through the haze one more day
      G   D    Am
On a wide open road
                   G      D        Am
On and On and the lights come and go
                  G     D        Am
And everything I might not even know
hat is the distance
C
On through the resistance singing...

G        D        C
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh...
G        D        C
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh...

Meet me in Portland
Roast here in the summer light
See you in the evergreens
I will catch you down on the Northeast side
And maybe San Diego
Moonlight at the lowest tide
See you in the shoreline breaker
Stepping over my maker's line
And it takes one to know one
That's what they always say
I've waited for the dawn
And I've waited for the day

Oh, I'm coming low
And I'm willing to pray
Stepping through the haze
One more day on a wide open road
On and on and the lights come and go
And everything I might not even know
What is the distance
On through the resistance singing

You met me on the backstreets
Right there at the end of the line
Where a spark turns into fire
And a tear falls into life

And it takes one to know one
That's what they always say
I've waited for the dawn
And I've waited for the day
Oh, I'm coming low
And I'm willing to pray
Stepping through the haze
One more day on a wide open road
On and on and the lights come and go
And everything I might not even know

What is the distance
On through the resistance
On a wide open road
On and on and the lights come and go
And everything I might not even know
What is the distance
On through the resistance singing

Oh

Meet me in Chicago
Down by the water line
You stepped across the gold coast
Stepped into this heart of mine
