verse
A C
well i’ve said it before , and i’ll say it again
G A
you get nothing for nothing , expect it when
F G A
you’re backseat driving , and your hands ain’t on the wheel
A C
it’s easy to go along with the crowd ,
G A
and find later on that your say ain’t allowed
F G A
oh that’s the way to find what you’ve been missing
chorus
E D A A
so i’m heading out to the highway
D A E
i got nothing to lose at all
D A A
i’m gonna do it my way
D A E
take a chance before i fall
C G A
a chance before i fall!

you can hang in a left or hang in a right

G A
if you get it wrong , at least you can know
F G A
there’s miles and miles to put it back together!
chorus
