Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 He pulled out  in a cloud  of dust
 Laying rubber  and spewing rust
 And on any road  he'd take
 He'd have his foot  on the pedal  and my heart  on the brake(break)
 Underneath  the smooth  tar curves
 A road is only dust  and dirt
 On a lonely interchange
 The signs  all look  the same
 'Cause a road  is just  a road  and a feeling's just  a feeling
 No matter where  you go,  from Waterloo  to Wichita
 A road  is just  a road  that the one  you love  is leaving  on
 And midnight's  another  dawn,  100 miles  ago ese two  G's are only
  played the first time.]
 His wheels spun out of sight of me
 Believing that I'd set him free
 But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner
 Saying he couldn't get enough of her
 You go by land, you go by air
 You go by sea, hell I don't care
 You can go any way you choose
 Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes
 And a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
 No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield
 A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
 And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
 same chords as chorus.]
 And every sleepless night  I see  him
Screaming  by  the scenery
 Not noticing  another  mile
 That's rolled  down  between him  and me
 'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
 No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone
 A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
 And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
 Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
 No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste. Marie
 A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
 And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
