Lyrics

We’ll join a car a (A5)van to (D5)night.

Count on the stars to be our (D5)guides.

We’ll sim ply (Gsus2)van ish (F#)out of sight.

Go where the des ert (Gsus2)road de (Asus)cides.

There won’t be an y ob li (D)ga tions.

Or (Fmaj7)fa thers to o (Csus2)bey.

(A7sus)’Cause we’ll (A)be a (G)mil lion miles a way,

leave (F)ev ’ry (A7sus)thing be hind.

(G)When you choose to (F#7)lose your self, who (Bm7)knows what (E)you might find?

(A)And (Gmaj9)once the jour ney’s (Dsus2)done, you’ll (Fmaj7)have some (G)faith in me.

(Em7)Af ter a mil lion (Dsus2)miles or so, we (Gmaj7)might feel (Asus)like (A)we’re (Gsus2)free.

May be we’ll trav el (A5)on the (D5)sea.

I’ll tend the sails and you can (D5)steer.

Watch the waves (Gsus2)roll on (F#)end less ly.

And the hor i zon (Gsus2)dis ap (Asus)pear.

We’ll leave all thoughts a bout the (D)fu ture Or (Fmaj7)till some fu ture (Csus2)day.

(A7sus)’Cause we’ll (A)be a (G)mil lion miles a way,

leave (F)ev ’ry (A7sus)thing be hind.

(G)When you choose to (F#7)lose your self, who (Bm7)knows what (E)you might find?

(A)And (Gmaj9)once the jour ney’s (Dsus2)done, it (Fmaj7)won’t seem (G)quite so far.

(Em7)Af ter a mil lion (Dsus2)miles or so, we’ll (Gmaj7)find out (Asus)like (A)we’re (Gsus2)free.

(Asus)who (A)we (Gsus2)are.

(G)Fol low wher ev er the (D)wind starts blow ing.

A mil lion miles a way.

The kind of a life peo ple (Fsus2)dream of (F)know ing.

A mil lion miles a way.

We’ll nev er turn back, we’ll just (A)keep on (F)go ing, (G)van ish ing from (G9)view, be (G)com ing some one (A7)new.
