It [Eb]seems like I was [Ab]there [Eb]from the s[Bb]tart
A witness to your wild and reckless [Eb]heart
You showed me the [Ab]way but [Eb]now you're [Bb]gone
[Bb]Quicker than the trigger of an outlaw's gun
Living fast and dying young
A victim of this road you left me[Eb] on
[Ab]White [Eb]line t[Bb]ook my b[Eb]aby
[Ab]Led him [Eb]down that [Bb]dark [Eb]highway
[Ab]Headlight[Eb] blind driv[Bb]ing craz[Eb]y
[Ab]If my [Eb]wheels keep [Bb]turning
[Bb]Gonna roll that white line [Eb]away
[Eb]We worked the road a[Ab]s hard [Eb]as we coul[Bb]d drive her
But now I am the only sur[Eb]vivor
>From night to night at[Ab] every[Eb] place I[Bb] play in
[Bb]The sweetness of your song remains
I'll be the keeper of the flame
Til every soul hears what your heart was[Eb] saying
[Ab]White [Eb]line t[Bb]ook my b[Eb]aby
[Ab]Led him [Eb]down that [Bb]dark [Eb]highway
[Ab]Headlight[Eb] blind driv[Bb]ing craz[Eb]y
[Ab]If my [Eb]wheels keep [Bb]turning
[Bb]Gonna roll that white line [Eb]away
All the [Cm]nights you spent [Ab]alone
All the [Eb]love I'd never s[Bb]hown
All the [Cm]words I could not [Ab]say
Till that [Eb]white line took you [Bb]away
[Ab]White l[Eb]ine t[Bb]ook you aw[Eb]ay[F]
[F]I'll follow this white [Bb]line down [F]where it's w[C]inding
Cause somewhere up ahead your light's still s[F]hining
[F]The sound of the [Bb]silver [F]strings [C]will guide me
I've stood and watched the bridges burn
I'm past the point of no return
Oh how I wish that you were here bes[F]ide me
[Bb]White [F]line [C]took my b[F]aby
[Bb]Led him [F]down that [C]dark hig[F]hway
[Bb]Headlight [F]blind dr[C]iving cra[F]zy
[Bb]If my [F]wheels keep [C]turning
[C]Gonna roll that white line [F]away
[Bb]White [F]line [C]took my b[F]aby
[Bb]Led him [F]down that [C]dark hig[F]hway
[Bb]Headlight [F]blind dr[C]iving cra[F]zy
[Bb]If my [F]wheels keep [C]turning
[C]Gonna roll that white line [F]away
