The Sun Sets Red

[Intro] Em  D  C
        Em  D  C
        Em  D  C
        Em  D  C

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

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

[Chorus]

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

            Em                       D                            C
I’ve learned not to trust old friends; their words are never true
       G             D                          C
They ask for a ride but leave you broken and bruised
 Em                       D             C
Love on the corners is fleeting and cold
        Em            D               C
Like promises whispered but never told

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

[Chorus]

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

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

[Chorus]

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