       Em                        
I’m driving through a desert that 
       D                  C
stretches without an end
         G                   D 
My old car rattles, my cigarette 
                C
burns, no need to pretend
           Em                 D   
The smoke swirls and twists, 
            C
forming visions in the air
    Em                     D   
A mirage in the distance, but it 
             C
leads me nowhere

    Em                       D    
I glance in the rearview, haunted 
             C
by the days long gone
           G                       
The road feels endless because the 
 D                  C
past keeps holding on
   D         Em              
No matter how I push ahead, the 
D             C
memories stay strong
              Em                 D
I’m caught between what’s right 
                       C
and where I don’t belong

[Estribillo]

             Em               D   
The sun sets red, and the shadows 
     C
grow
           G                    
 I chase horizons, but the truth 
D                C
I’ll never know

             Em                 D 
The whiskey stings, the blackbirds
     C
 cry
                  G            D  
This road’s my burden, beneath the
            C
 endless sky

            Em               
I’ve learned not to trust old 
        D                          
friends; their words are never true
  C

       G             D            
They ask for a ride but leave you 
              C
broken and bruised
 Em                       D       
Love on the corners is fleeting 
      C
and cold
        Em            D           
Like promises whispered but never 
    C
told

      D       Em                 
The sky bleeds fire as the sun 
D      C
dips low
              G                
My dogs rest quiet, but my mind 
  D           C
won’t let go
         Em           D           
I wonder if I have a family 
   C
waiting somewhere
           Em                 D   
But I keep driving, chasing 
             C
freedom in the air

[Estribillo]

             Em               D   
The sun sets red, and the shadows 
     C
grow
           G                    
 I chase horizons, but the truth 
D                C
I’ll never know
             Em                 D 
The whiskey stings, the blackbirds
     C
 cry
                  G            D  
This road’s my burden, beneath the
            C
 endless sky

Em                   D     
Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m 
        C
running from the lies
Em                D              
Or from my own shadow that 
     C
stretches under the skies
 Em           D                  
False words echo, but I’ve hardened 
C
my skin
   Em           D                 
The radio plays songs that won’t 
          C
let me win

[Estribillo]

             Em               D   
The sun sets red, and the shadows 
     C
grow
           G                    
 I chase horizons, but the truth 
D                C
I’ll never know
             Em                 D 
The whiskey stings, the blackbirds
     C
 cry
                  G            D  
This road’s my burden, beneath the
            C
 endless sky
