B    *     *     *     *

[Verse 1]
    B             F#    *
The road ahead is empty
     B          *              F#    *
It's paved with miles of the unknown
    B             *            G#m
Whatever seems to be your destination
     *               C#m         *               F#    *
Take life the way it comes, take life the way it is

[Verse 2]
B    *            F#       *
   Horizon in the distance
   B         *           F#    *
So close and yet so far away
    B               *                G#m
You shouldn't be surprised when on arrival
    *                C#m     *                  F#    *
The dream has flown away and fear's not here to stay

[Chorus]
    E                *                B       *
The road ahead never gives up way but promise
    E               *                     C#m       F#           B
The road ahead is a highway or a dead end street, a dead end street

[Verse 3]
    B                   F#         *
The raindrops from your windscreen
     B         *              F#    *
They fall from heaven or from hell
    B              *              G#m
You drive into the light or empty darkness
  *                 F#    *
Uncertainty as your guide
 
[Chorus]
    E                     *               B       *
The road ahead will never give up way but promise,  o-h
    E               *                     B      *
The road ahead is a highway or a dead end street,  wo-h
    E                *           B
The road ahead never answers any questions
*                C#m             *               G#m    *
  And nothing is shown along the way, not even tomorrow
     D#m            F#             B
With miles of the unknown ahead of you

[Verse 4]
    B             F#    *
The road ahead is empty
     B          *              F#    *
It's paved with miles of the unknown
    B             *            G#m
Whatever seems to be your destination
     *               C#m         *               B
Take life the way it comes, take life the way it is
