Dm F Rand McNally atlas, cheap coffee stain Bb F Now, I wouldn't know how to use one with my life at stake Dm F You were waiting on a payphone at a truck stop in Houston Bb F Trying to call your mother, ’cause she's a worrier Dm F Handful of twenties in your overcoat Bb F Always rolled into a pillow on some stranger's floor Dm F And you tell these stories with happy endings Bb F Only when interrupted before they’re over
Bb But I won't let the light fade F I won't let the light fade F C Dm C Chasing these glows into dawn Bb I won't let the light fade F I won't let the light fade F C Dm Falling asleep in their arms

Dm F It seemed these highways were never-ending Bb F Circling odds and evens, the numbers ascending Dm F Searching through static in the Wyoming plains Bb F We danced to both types of music, as the old joke claims Dm F And I wanted for nothing, I couldn't rent Bb F We lived on whiskey and Twizzlers, and youth's discontent Dm F With this Rand McNally atlas dogging in frame Bb F Like Old Testament verses that don't make sense in this decade
Bb Don’t let the light fade F I won’t let the light fade F C Dm C Chasing these glows into dawn Gm I won't let the light fade Dm I won’t let the light fade F C Dm C Falling asleep in their arms Bb But I won't let the light fade F I won't let the light fade C Dm Chasing these glows into dawn
Gm And I'm holding on Bb Holding on
