   Eb               Ab    Eb        Bb
It seems like I was there from the start
                                    Eb
A witness to your wild and reckless heart
                  Ab      Eb         Bb
You showed me the way but now you're gone
Bb
Quicker than the trigger of an outlaw's gun

Living fast and dying young
                                 Eb
A victim of this road you left me on
Ab    Eb    Bb      Eb
White line took my baby
Ab      Eb        Bb   Eb
Led him down that dark highway
Ab       Eb         Bb      Eb
Headlight blind driving crazy
Ab    Eb          Bb
If my wheels keep turning
Bb                         Eb
Gonna roll that white line away
Eb                  Ab     Eb        Bb
We worked the road as hard as we could drive her
                         Eb
But now I am the only survivor
                       Ab    Eb      Bb
>From night to night at every place I play in
Bb
The sweetness of your song remains

I'll be the keeper of the flame
                                        Eb
Til every soul hears what your heart was saying
Ab    Eb    Bb      Eb
White line took my baby
Ab      Eb        Bb   Eb
Led him down that dark highway
Ab       Eb         Bb      Eb
Headlight blind driving crazy
Ab    Eb          Bb
If my wheels keep turning
Bb                         Eb
Gonna roll that white line away
        Cm               Ab
All the nights you spent alone
        Eb              Bb
All the love I'd never shown
        Cm                Ab
All the words I could not say
          Eb                  Bb
Till that white line took you away
Ab     Eb   Bb        Eb   F
White line took you away
F                      Bb        F           C
I'll follow this white line down where it's winding
                                             F
Cause somewhere up ahead your light's still shining
F                Bb     F        C
The sound of the silver strings  will guide me

I've stood and watched the bridges burn

I'm past the point of no return
                                    F
Oh how I wish that you were here beside me
Bb    F    C        F
White line took my baby
Bb      F         C       F
Led him down that dark highway
Bb        F       C        F
Headlight blind driving crazy
Bb    F           C
If my wheels keep turning
C                          F
Gonna roll that white line away
Bb    F    C        F
White line took my baby
Bb      F         C       F
Led him down that dark highway
Bb        F       C        F
Headlight blind driving crazy
Bb    F           C
If my wheels keep turning
C                          F
Gonna roll that white line away
