    C#m                        A
If tonight is your last train out of here
               E                            B
How you gonna run like that? How you gonna run
like that?
    C#m                          A		
If this one life, one love left here to share
               E                             B
How you gonna turn your back? How you gonna turn
your back?

                    C#m        B
And I don't care if everyone knows what we're
 A
going through
       C#m      B          A
'Cause all the roads lead back to you

Chorus:
E            F#m          G#m             A
On and on and on we pray, we can break into a
brighter day
E       F#m         G#m      F#m
Nothing worth anything ever goes down easy
E            F#m          G#m          A
On and on and on we go, I don't understand this
windy road
E       F#m         G#m      F#m       E
Nothing worth anything ever goes down easy

If there's one thing that I need to hear from you
Is how we gonna see this through, how we gonna
see this through
If there's one thing that I know to be true
Is that I'm in love with you, is that I'm in
love with you

And I don't care if everyone knows what we're
going through
'Cause all the roads lead back to you

Chorus

And we'll keep on, keep on climbing on down
this narrow line
So we can see the other side, the other side

Chorus

goes down easy
Goes down easy, goes down easy, goes down easy
